I have seen the Muhlbach books and agree that they show the Pyle influence, though marred by Everett's early tendency towards "gumminess" in form, uninteresting kev ferrarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509572970616136990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613902890681868820.post-33519470263895051662010-11-28T18:45:18.908-05:002010-11-28T18:45:18.908-05:00Yes - the two letters are at Harvard in the Hought...Yes - the two letters are at Harvard in the Houghton, Mifflin archives.<br /><br />On September 20, 1900, Pyle wrote to Winthrop Scudder at Houghton, Mifflin:<br /><br />“Mr Everett, to whom I had assigned the fifth drawing for the Hawthorne, brought in a picture which did not in the least satisfy me.

I've been looking for just that particular type of proof for a great long time. I thank you heartily for supplying it! (And so off-the-cuff... you rascal. ;) )<br /><br />Your point about Everett being chosen by Pyle to illustrate Hawthorn is equally concrete and equally kev ferrarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509572970616136990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613902890681868820.post-4810401556568536602010-11-28T14:09:03.635-05:002010-11-28T14:09:03.635-05:00And then there’s the matter of accessing those som...And then there’s the matter of accessing those sometimes sloppy, incomplete, and misspelled records, once you locate them. At Drexel ten years ago I went to a room filled with cardboard boxes containing student registers, etc., but I couldn’t go through them. But maybe by now they’ve found a place for them and have made them available to researchers. <br /><br />A side note regarding Everett: Ian Schoenherrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906881923887306477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613902890681868820.post-85350579080062697112010-11-28T12:39:51.495-05:002010-11-28T12:39:51.495-05:00Funny thing, that we must look at who wrote histor...Funny thing, that we must look at who wrote history, and what information they had access to, or which information they had preference for, to determine why history was written as it was. Far and away the person who knew Pyle's affairs best was Pyle himself. Everybody else, I would guess, had only one puzzle piece of the overall man.<br /><br />Regarding how paper trails can be misleading...<kev ferrarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509572970616136990noreply@blogger.com
