Hardcover. Foreword by Walter B. Rideout. Small 4to. Blue cloth with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. xxii, 352pp. Fine/near fine. Handsome first edition of this hefty correspondence between the celebrated "Winesburg, Ohio" novelist and his mistress. Tipped to front flyleaf is a good content Typed Letter Signed from Sutton -- 1p, 8" X 11", Muncie, IN, 9 January 1978. Addressed to Ralph G. Newman (1911-98, founder of Chicago's noted Abraham Lincoln Book Shop). Near fine. Two original folds. On Ball State University letterhead, Sutton chats about their mutual friend Carl Sandburg. In part: "Recently I have been coming across material related to Carl's interest in the Walt Whitman Fellowship. I would be interested in any recollection you may have in Carl's connection with it or your own knowledge of it. Apparently it eventually stopped holding annual meetings on May 31. Do you know when. One question I find interesting is this. When do you think Carl started to write about Lincoln?" Boldly signed in full at the close. Sutton (1915-2016) was long-time English professor at Ball State University; in addition to "Letters to Bab" plus another book on Anderson and one on Robert Frost, Sutton authored "Carl Sandburg Remembered" (published 1979) and here appears to be plying Newman for more details for that book.
