will,
the thing that surprised me about that reproduction
was the caption saying this was the story that
salinger developed into 'the catcher'. from the
letter one learns the name of the main character was
'bobby'. too bad that letter wasn't dated.
i agree there must be riches to find within the
archives. yagoda, i felt, delivered a tremendous
amount of information in the relatively few pages
devoted to jds. alexander in his 'biography'
proclaims he's the first biographer to have access to
the archives, and then hardly comes through with any
substantive info from them. in fact, the best thing
about his book was the cover.
