Sylvia Beach to F. Scott Fitzgerald, June 23, 1928


All week, we’re celebrating Sylvia Beach. Please drop by for a new post—or two--on Beach every day. And then head to your local independent bookstore and buy a copy of The Letters of Sylvia Beach.

Letter #97
Dear Scott Fitzgerald,
Don’t forget that you and Mrs Fitzgerald are coming to dine with us next Wednesday at 8, (to meet Mr and Mrs Joyce) and we are counting on you. Adrienne and I live at 18 re de l’Odéon on the 4th floor no lift.
Yours very sincerely,
Sylvia Beach

Now, if he went - I wish I'd been a fly on that wall.

This dinner was memorialized int the illustration Scott drew for Sylvia...is it the only known drawing by Mr. Fitzgerald?
