John T. McIntyre to Mr. Chapman, Signed Autograph Letters , 1923 April 30 and 1926? December 6

 Item — Box: 18, Folder: 8-9

Scope and Contents

McIntyre responds to Chapman's question about baseball stories, saying he had only written three of that type, all of which were short stories (April 30, 1923). He also writes that Chapman's letter about his book, "Shot Towers," has arrived. But since "there are some motion picture matters pending for this book, and as they may have a book up with the second serial rights I feel I'd better take no action toward placing them as yet" (December 6, 1926?).
