- Abstract
This article gives an account of how Aldo P. Magi, compiler of the works of author and poet Thomas Wolfe was able to acquire certain documents of correspondence by Wolfe after his death. The said documents were in the possession of a widow Carolyn Lamb in New Canaan, Connecticut, after the death of her husband Thomas Lamb. Thomas Lamb was given these documents by his teacher John Terry, who was collecting documents for a proposed biography of Wolfe. The widow, who made all efforts to gain monetary benefits from the papers, was finally persuaded by Magi and the papers were given to the Houghton Library in Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, for inclusion in the William B. Wisdom Collection of Thomas Wolfe.
