Letter: Upton Sinclair, Pasadena, California, to Melville Kress, Neville Island, Pennsylvania, 19 August 1940

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 21
Identifier: MSN/MN 3014-21

Scope and Contents

Sinclair writes he is pleased Kress "likes the art-buying chapters" but says he will not change his treatment of Lanny and his carefree handling of large sums of money. He goes on to explain, this is because his friend and the inspiration for Lanny, Martin Birnbaum, "described to me many such transactions and he never mentioned having any guard."
