Joseph Heller letter to Paul Hardacre
Manuscripts
This typewritten letter, written to Professor Paul Hardacre (who taught at Vanderbilt University) is as follows: Dear Professor Hardacre: Many thanks to you for sending me the photograph from The Times. I envy that man lying on the grass in Cornwall, not merely because he is reading Catch-22, but because he appears to be having a much better time doing it than I had all summer traipsing about all through Europe for Holiday magazine, which is why it has taken me so long to acknowledge your kindness in sending me the clipping. Thank you again. Cordially, Joseph Heller [signed]." With the letter is a newspaper clipping of an article entitled "Writing novels slowly but with hardly a catch," about Joseph Heller, from The Times, October 17, 1975.
