French Morse, and Felix Stefanile; William Bronk's Of Poetry,

Wertheim gift. Professor and Mrs. Stanley Wertheim have
continued to strengthen our literary holdings with their thoughtful
and generous annual gifts. At the end of last year they presented:
first editions of two suspense novels by Cornell Woolrich, Fright,
1950, published under the pseudonym George Hopley, and Waltz
into Darkness, 1947, published under the pseudonym William Irish;
two first editions lacking in the Stephen Crane collection. The
Sullivan County Sketches, 1949, and John Berryman's landmark
biography of Crane, published in 1950; and an important
autograph letter written by Delmore Schwartz to the editor of The
New Republic, William Cole, AprU 22, 1955, in which he discusses
the possibility of getting Albert Camus to write a series of articles
for the magazine, and his work as poetry editor.
