Summary
Includes 13 p. of page proofs from the New World Writing version of Olsen's short story, "Tell Me a Riddle," stapled to blue paper and emended by Olsen (changes are both holograph and typed). Some pages contain notes on the verso of the blue paper (emendations on 16 p. total). The page proofs are accompanied by a typed letter (1 p.) to Olsen from Dorothy M. McKittrick, Head of the Permissions Department at Doubleday, asking for Olsen's permission to include "Tell Me a Riddle" in Prize Stories 1961: The O. Henry Awards. Olsen has signed this form in black ink, dated it August 5, 1960, and noted in red ink that her permission is granted "providing corrections attached are made." This letter is accompanied by a typed list (1 p.) summarizing Olsen's required changes; the list has pencil annotations probably made by printers at Doubleday. Following the page proofs is a typed letter signed (1 p.) from Olsen to [Henry] Volkening, her literary agent, dated Aug. 24, 1960, telling him that she has more changes to send to Doubleday. The letter is accompanied by a typed list (1 p.) of five additional changes.
