Manuscript Material. Wyeth, James. Small file of Autograph Letters, many signed or initialed by James ("Jamie") Wyeth, ca. 1958-1961. Approx. 20 4to & sm. 4to sheets. Complete and partial letters, primarily to William Omwake, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania from James Wyeth writing from Cushing Road, Thomaston, Maine. Many on Andrew Wyeth's letterhead. Most embellished with pen & ink & pencil drawings in Jamie Wyeth's hand - often comic & narrative. Includes 2 addressed envelopes (1 embellished with ghoulish pencil drawings). Many of the embellishments throughout this file inspired by horror & other popular genres.
The entire file is affected by fire & water, mostly confined to singed edges & minor dampstaining, just a few items in file showing more extensive damage. James Wyeth's signature appears at least 5 times in this file, twice as "J.W.", twice as "Jamie," & once as "James."
