Collection of letters signed by Carl Van Vechten (1880-1964), American writer, photographer and patron of the arts. Letters are chiefly to London publisher Grant Richards, 1923, regarding two of Van Vechten's works, Peter Whiffle and The Blind Bow-Boy. Other items to various recipients concern literary, social and business matters, including a letter thanking George Sylvester Viereck for sending a copy of his work My Flesh and Blood, and a note to Sawyer written on the back of a photograph of Alice B. Toklas, taken by Van Vechten.
