Autograph letter signed ("F Scott Fitzgerald"), 3/4 page (11 x 8 1/2 ins; 280 x 220 mm). St. Paul, 15 February 1922, to "My Dear Miss Norval"; fold crease. Autograph envelope.
Fitzgerald declines a social engagement because of "domestic calamities." He apologizes for burdening Miss Norval, who was directed to him by Joseph Hergesheimer, with a letter about problems such as a sick infant and mother-in-law. With the publication of The Beautiful and the Damned just one month away and lengthy list of familial obligations, Fitzgerald's could not make time for the friend of another popular author. Unpublished.
Together with: Typed letter signed ("Scott Fitzgerald") 1/2 page (11 x 8 1/2 ins; 280 x 220 mm). Baltimore, 8 December 1934 to "Ted"; fold creases. Custom folding cloth case. Fitzgerald recommends his young temp to the Barron G. Collier Company. "The young lady who presents this is trying to strike out on her own in New York... Her personability will be plain to you immediately." "Ted" had apparently given Fitzgerald his first job, at the Collier advertising firm. Unpublished.
