Single-spaced typed letter on 8-1/2" x 11" personal stationery to Philip Blair Rice editor of THE KENYON REVIEW thanking him for sending an issue of the periodical "with the article by R. P. Blackmur about my novel 'Doctor Faustus'. But it is my desire to tell you that the repeated perusal of the study has given me great satisfaction and that quite apart from its topic I admire Mr. Blackmur's work as a highly distinguished critical achievement." Mann mentions Blair's own essay on Mann's book also published in THE KENYON REVIEW: "'The Merging Parallels' a study I have not forgotten. Together with this new comment it is included in my collection of personal and public reactions to this work of my old age which is particularly close to my heart." unknown books
1941rif. 020957Pacific Palisades CA 5 October 1941. Letter. Light creases from mailing. Near Fine. A superb three-page TYPED LETTER SIGNED TLS on Mann's personal stationery to Louis B. Mayer president of MGM Studios commending Mayer for the Studios' contracting of 5 refugee writers in order to allow their immigration to the United States to escape death during World War II: Alfred Doeblin Alfred Polgar Hans Lustig Wilhelm Speyer and Walter Mehring. In part: "It is not my custom to interfere in matters which do not directly concern me; however I should like to take the liberty of presenting to you with confidence a matter which is close to my heart and which is a source of worry for me as well many other well-meaning people. It was one of the finest and most meritorious deeds during these turbulent years which destroyed so much life and happiness a deed which will certainly never be forgotten when the fantastic tale of the emigration of European culture is told that two great Motion Picture Companies in Hollywood decided to give emergency contracts to a number of German and Austrian writers which not only enabled these men to immigrate into the United States but also secured if only for a certain time a basis for their existence." Mann spends most of the letter arguing for the rehiring of these writers for another year not "for unproductive and merely humanitarian purposes" but because "the value of the agreement for the Company has already been demonstrated." An important letter revealing Mann's solidarity with refugee writers during the rise of Fascism in Europe. Mann himself emigrated to the United States in 1939 following the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. The outbreak of World War II on 1 September 1939 prompted Mann to offer anti-Nazi speeches in German to the German people via the BBC and in October 1940 Mann began monthly eight-minute broadcasts recorded in the U.S. and broadcast by the BBC to Germany condemning Hitler and the Nazis. In doing so he was one of the few publicly active opponents of Nazism among German expatriates in the United States. unknown books

I will be happy to add these lovely mementos to the small archive of my northern tour. Mann 1875-1955 left Germany for Switzerland in 1933 after the Nazi rise to power.

rif. 24308On Mann's letterhead written to the New York Post columnist thanking him for "the flattering invitation" presumably to write a column for him as a guest. Mann is "-- in principle -- interested in your proposition but I cannot at this moment give you a definitive answer. A week or so from now I shall know whether or not a piece of work which I have undertaken to complete before the middle of February will be ready in time for me to accept any additional obligations. You shall have my final reply as soon as possible. Meanwhile I should be glad to be advised as to the fee involved in my proposed guest-performance. unknown books
