Inscribed by Hervey Allen to the poet Robert Frost: "Signed with all affection and the deepest of respect for Robert Frost on the occasion of a visit to him and his at Gainesville Florida March 1938. Hervey Allen." An exceptional association. Frost and his wife moved to Gainesville in December 1937 where the poet was lecturing at the University of Florida. Mrs. Frost suffered a heart attack and died on March 20 1938. Allen rushed up from Miami to console Frost who was nearly in a state of collapse. Allen's sympathetic presence was acknowledged by Frost who sent him a note with long quotations from Tennyson partly from In Memoriam closing with the heartfelt sentiment "I shall never forget your coming to me with such sympathy." This copy was almost certainly presented by Allen to Frost on that memorable visit. An outstanding association. Farrar & Rinehart hardcover
