Sedgwick, Ellery. (1872-1960). Editor of the Atlantic Monthly and president of The Atlantic Monthly Company. TYPED LETTER ABOUT \"MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY\" AUTHOR JAMES NORMAN HALL SIGNED BY ATLANTIC MONTHLY EDITOR ELLERY SEDGWICK. Boston, MA: 6 April, 1934. 40 words typed on a 10-1/2 inch high by 8-1/4 inch wide sheet of Atlantic Monthly letterhead with a logo above the title and \"Office of the Editor\" printed in the top left corner. Signed \"Ellery Sedgwick\". There is some very light discoloration to the paper with several paper-clip marks to the top left corner & a tiny ink doodle at bottom right. Folded twice for mailing with a short tear at the horizontal fold. The paper-clip stains recur on the verso with some minor foxing. Very good.
Sedgwick replies to an inquiry from lecture tour manager James B. Pond of the Pond Bureau, giving him the Tahiti address of James Norman Hall, author of \"Mutiny on the Bounty\". \"But I think [Hall] would love the platform about as well as the Devil loves Holy Water. He is doing very well at his books, and I prophesy that you won\'t budge him.\"
American editor Ellery Sedgwick [1872-1960] came from a leading family of Stockbridge, Mass.

After graduating from Groton School and Harvard University, Sedgwick taught at Groton for a couple of years and worked as an editor in New York City. He returned to Boston in 1909 to be editor of the Atlantic Monthly and president of the Atlantic Monthly Company. He was elected to the National Institute of Arts and letters in 1915.
