STEGNER, Wallace TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) to Louis Kronenberger
Los Altos Hills, CA 9 Feb. 1972 Single-spaced, 37 lines, @450-500 words. Stegner remarks on how much more interesting Kronenberger's ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL (Viking 1972) is than the average commonplace book, giving specific examples of what he appreciates in the book. "I have been reminded of the term 'belly robber,' on which I grew up and which I had totally forgotten and which, now that I am on a diet and losing pounds, I shall pass on to my wife, the cook.... I am going to be dipping into your book like a water ouzel for a long time to come. You may even have started me on a career of recollection and pilfering." With one or two minor manuscript corrections. SIGNED "Wally." This is Viking Press's copy with their notations in the upper left corner. Fold marks and some light wrinkling. Very Good
