| Description: |
| Two TLs from Rupert Pole to Henry Miller, one reporting Nin's grave condition in 1965 and one after her death, in 1977, which includes a xerox copy of a TLs from Lawrence Durrell to Pole, memorializing Nin. |
| The first letter states that Nin is very ill, and asks Miller to not mention her diaries when speaking to her because a deal with Dartmouth College to house the archives (including Miller/Nin correspondence) had fallen through and she was quite upset about it. The second letter thanks Miller for his words on Nin for the National Academy, and chattily mentions his dislike of Alice Walker: "...I hated her piece in Ms. Anais had been so good to her, writing a piece for each of her books - and then after meeting her only superficially at the Vonneguts, she accused Anais of 'professional generosity.' I guess meeting her in that New York literary jungle, she couldn't believe Anais was real!..." |
| Condition: |
| One letter with small coffee (?) stain, the other with slight rust marks from paper clip; else near fine couple of letters, last in original envelope. |
