Crouse, Russel (1893-1966) Playwright; co-wrote with Howard Lindsay hits such as The Sound of Music and Life With Father. Autograph Letter Signed ("Crouse"), New York, October 23, 1952, 4 pp, small quarto. To novelist Edna Ferber, who seems to have questioned his liberalism. In part: "…I know how you resent having given money to the Eisenhower fund…I am enclosing a check for $200 for Volunteers for Stevenson….I have not yet made up my mind…There are two fine men running for President…But the issue is not one of personality….I now question the wisdom of returning the Democratic party to power….I question the ability of the Republican party to take over our government. These decisions I must fight out in my soul….I hope you deplore…anyone questioning my liberalism even if I do vote for Eisenhower…There are liberal Republicans just as there are reactionary Democrats…." More excellent content. Very fine.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
