Description
Hubert writes from New York City to his mother in Jackson, Mississippi, regarding personal and professional matters. He discusses the progress on his novel. He states that he will likely return home when David [McDowell?] does, too. He mentions John [Valentine Schaffner?]. He discusses people visiting New York, including Walter Edge, Eudora Welty, [Rosa] Dolly [Wells], [William Jay?] Bill Smith, Elizabeth Spencer, and Dick Holt. He states he recently saw Leonard Sillman's "New Faces of 1952." Doug Cooke, who Hubert knew from his days at New Directions Publishing Corporation, invited Hubert and Max Geismar to dinner. Cooke worked as an engraver before working for the Brooklyn Eagle. He watched Ben Weber's quartet and saw Nicolas Calas and friends from Yaddo artists' colony there. He also mentions Lehman Engel. He states that Madamoiselle magazine did not take his writing submissions. Includes a New York Times clipping about Mary-Esther Edge and Walter Edge's wedding and envelope.
