DREISER, Theodore (1871-1945). Autograph letter signed ("Theodore Dreiser"), to Alice Kauser. New York, 26 March 1919. 1 1/2 pages, 8vo, on blind embossed 165 West 10 Street New York City stationery, answered stamp upper margin touching date, pinholes upper left corners, creased. Dreiser writes Kauser, one of New York's top literary agents: "The Coburn Contract runs until June 1, 1919, when, on the payment of $500 additional, they can obtain an extension of three months during which time the play must be produced or the contract lapses. I have the feeling they will not pay the $500. In that case the book will be published in book form June 2nd."
