From the Collection:
This collection contains the correspondence of Meredith Nicholson ranging from 1893 to 1942. The correspondence includes original letters sent to Maurice Thompson, Stephen Noland, Louis Bailey, C.B. Coleman, Indiana State Library librarians, and others. The collection also contains photocopies of correspondence between Mr. Nicholson and Charles Scribner's Sons editors Robert Bridges, Maxwell Perkins, John Hall Wheelock, and E.L. Burlingame. The photocopied letters include Nicholson's views on politics and the influence of the Ku Klux Klan on elections in the 1920s, a poem that he read at the dedication of the Indiana Monument at Antietam Battlefield on September 17, 1910, a discarded prologue to And They Lived Happily Ever After (1925), and a literary manuscript about Meredith Nicholson and his writings (circa 1923). Two other items of note are a handwritten draft of an introduction Nicholson wrote for a 1922 edition of Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi and author's proofs for his 1905 novel, The House of a Thousand Candles.
