James S. Case

[Rob Wick]

Going through the Tarbell Papers (which I think will likely take me the rest of my natural life plus about 20 years ) I found a letter from a James S. Case, who, according to the letterhead, was manager of the Brooklyn Daily Times. He first wrote to McClure's Magazine in 1896 about the programme for Our American Cousin which Lincoln supposedly had when he was shot. Instead of trying to type this and the follow-up he wrote to Tarbell, I will link to them. I can't seem to find the letter she wrote Case which he mentions, but evidently much of the McClure Papers regarding her series was destroyed after the company was sold. I don't know that I've ever come across this. Has anyone else?

Best
Rob
