Also, they tell me that you had a play on last fall which wasn't so well received by the reviewers, and I thought it might cheer you up to see some plays which have never been produced at all. Am looking forward to your novel. As ever / Edmund Wilson / Feb. 16, 1939." Nathanael West's sister was married to the humorist and screenwriter, S.J. Perelman.
