F. Scott Fitzgerald to Charles Green Shaw, 1927 June 21
F. Scott Fitzgerald, Letter to Charles Green Shaw, June 21, 1927. Charles Green Shaw papers, 1830-1974. Charles Green Shaw bequest.
Shaw (1892-1974), an abstract painter and well-connected social figure, had earlier planned to be a writer. His circle of friends included F. Scott Fitzgerald who, known to give generous advice to young writers, was particularly kind to his friend Shaw. Fitzgerald is encouraging before offering criticism: "It is a damn good piece of humorous writing from end to end. I wish you'd try something with a plot." He ends by apologizing for being "drunk and dull the other night."
