Envelope, H. L. Mencken in Baltimore to Leland P. Lovette in Annapolis, 1932 September 30

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 1, item: 2
From the Collection:

This collection consists primarily of a typed letter and corresponding envelope from Henry Louis Mencken in Baltimore, Maryland to Lieutenant Commander Leland P. Lovette in Annapolis, Maryland. In the letter, Mencken thanks Lovette for a pleasant note he sent and extends his delight at previously being able to spend an evening together enjoying each other's company. He concludes by inviting Lovette to call on him the next time he is in Baltimore and suggests they sample his cellar, noting that even though it is not as large as it once was, probably due to prohibition, it is still sufficient. Also included in the collection is a Form of Bequest to Henry Louis Mencken reviewed by Messrs. Goldfarb, Feinberg, Spritzwasser, and O’Shaunnessy.
