signed first edition Hardcover
by DOS PASSOS, John
Hardcover. A collection of books from the estate of Beulah Appleton, second wife of Dos Passos' close friend Walter Rumsey Marvin (who was known to Dos Passos as "Rum" or "Rummy"). Many of the books are inscribed to both “Rummy” and either his first wife Betsy or his second wife Beulah (known as “B.”), and/or their daughter Miranda.
Dos Passos met Marvin, four years his junior, in 1915 when both were traveling to California; for Dos Passos it was a respite from his mother's recent death and before he began his senior year at Harvard. Coincidentally, they ran into each other on several legs of the trip, including at the Grand Canyon, and Dos Passos began a friendship, and soon thereafter a correspondence, both of which continued for the rest of his life. Marvin appears, and his correspondence with Dos Passos (now largely at the University of Virginia) is referenced repeatedly in Townsend Ludington's biography: *John Dos Passos: A Twentieth Century Odyssey* (Dutton, 1980).
Marvin was not a collector per se and condition varies, but most are first editions, and most are in very good condition, but further details of edition and condition on the list below.
