Two pieces of correspondence as follows:

Undated birthday note to "Janet" (presumably Janet Cohn, an associate at Wilder's literary agent Brandt & Brandt): "Dear Janet and a lot of happy birthdays to you too sez your devoted friend Thorni."

Letter of July 24, 1952 to George Thaxter Banks, a bookseller at Goodspeed's in Boston. Wilder thanks Banks for bringing a Fitzgerald letter to his attention, and mentions that he has recently been researching Lope de Vega. He encloses an inscribed offprint of his article "New Aids Toward Dating the Early Plays of Lope de Vega," published in Sonderdruck aus der Reinhardt-Festschrift. In a postscript Wilder notes the existence of the manuscript of de Vega's play "Carlos V en Francia," then in the possession of J. B. Stetson, Jr. "He has never permitted a scholar to see it, nor has answered any letters. All the Lopistas in the world have written him at one time or another." Wilder asks Banks "If that play ever does reappear on the market, could you let me know. Yale or the Houghton should have it." The manuscript is now in the collections of the University of Pennsylvania.
