Item Listing

Letters
  • Lewis Mumford to Alfred Sheppard Dashiell
    1931 March 24
    TLS, 1 p.

    [States that he is sending Dashiell the first draft of an essay and asks for his criticism. Says he will not be able to write about the scholars and philosophers because Charles Sanders Peirce 's papers ( Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce 5 v. 1931-1934) are not yet available.]

  • Alfred Sheppard Dashiell to Lewis Mumford
    1931 April 10
    TL (carbon), 1 p.

    [Says that Maxwell Perkins agrees with him about the manuscript. Suggests that since landscape is such a broad subject and hard to make interesting that material on Charles Gustavus Roebling be included, and the material on Central Park reduced . ]

  • Lewis Mumford to Alfred Sheppard Dashiell
    1931 March 31
    ALS, 2 p.

    [ Lewis Mumford discusses rewriting the essay. Thinks he will leave out the section on Charles Eliot and include instead the story of Charles Gustavus Roebling . ]

  • Lewis Mumford to Alfred Sheppard Dashiell
    1931 May 29
    TLS, 1 p.

    [Says he has been in Amenia, N. Y. a fortnight during which time he wrote the first draft of the essay which he is sending.]

  • Alfred Sheppard Dashiell to Lewis Mumford
    1931 June 3
    TL (carbon), 1 p.

    [Feels that the conclusion of the article needs improvement, and states that he is not buying any more articles until next fall. Discusses The Brown Decades publication date, and an article about it for the October issue.]
