WANDREI, HOWARD & DONALD Two Original Typed Letters Signed by Writer and Illustrator, Howard Wandrei to His Brother, Horror and Fantasy Writer, Donald Wandrei
New York Each, 1 page, 8 1/2 x 11 November 4, 1940 & March 6, 1941
Two original typed letters signed by writer and illustrator, Howard Wandrei (signed ÒHowÓ), to his brother, Donald Wandrei, horror and fantasy writer and co-founder, with August Derleth, of Arkham House Publishers. In the first letter, dated November 4, 1940, Howard references various current events, including the military draft, and the likelihood of the U.S. entering into the war soon. He writes: Ò...As to the election, I believe FDR will have us in war within a year, before we are at all ready, if he is re-elected. I don't think there is the shadow of a doubt, and I don't think so just because WLW and Hugh Johnson say so. I have my two bucks on Willkie. If you want an indictment that will appall you, read Flynn's ÔCountry Squire in the White House.' It's only 122 pages, and it reads like something about a crackpot like Hitler. A horribly dangerous crackpot. I will have an ear glued to the air waves, and an eye cocked on which way the Times light beam is pointing. Steady to the North is Roosevelt. It will be a calamity if it points that way.Ó He goes on to relate a humorous social event with mutual friends involving charred hotdogs and some football news. In the second letter, dated March 6, 1941, Howard mentions his process regarding his writing: Ò...I am working a little harder, turning out more wordage day by day. Short fiction daytimes, and three evenings a week on longer stuff...It's bad luck to mention it, but the New Yorker is still holding a short sent to them about two weeks ago.Ó He goes on to relate a visit to the Museum of Natural History, various bits of news about fellow writers, including Steve Fisher and Frank Gruber, a visit to his dentist, and some early Spring gardening high-lights. Both letters include their original typed postmarked envelopes. Letters and envelopes are in fine condition. Howard Wandrei was the illustrator for Donald Wandrei's book, Dark Odyssey.
