Buck, seventeen pages (total), 4to, mainly written from Perkasie, Pennsylvania, 12th August 1963 - 10th August 1970, all to Sofia Mircetic in Yugoslavia. Buck writes a series of largely social letters, thanking her correspondent for various gifts of lace doilies, costume dolls etc., but also commenting on her work and other events of the time, in part, 'Thank you….for the beautiful pictures and for the record. My children and I have enjoyed both and it is thoughtful of you to send them….Let me add to this letter my sincere sympathy for the terrible earthquakes that your country has recently suffered. Americans were sad to think that such misfortune should have fallen on a people toward whom they feel so friendly' (12th August 1963), 'I am glad that you found something of use to you in my books, A Bridge for Passing and Command the Morning….I am sending you a copy of My Several Worlds and The Child Who Never Grew. (Neither present) Both are autobiographical' (20th September 1963), 'I would like to send you a copy of Voices in the House and will do so. It is a book different from my others but it was based partly on a true story. It is a joy to me to know that I have friends in your country. My greatest grief is always the present division between peoples. I am sure that in other countries there are those of us who would enjoy one another' (6th January 1966), 'I am interested indeed to observe the growing communication between your country and mine. I heard a radio program this morning on this subject and I realize, as I did not before, that your citizens may leave your country and travel abroad as they wish. This is wonderful, for it gives us an opportunity to know more about each other. I only wish that the Communist countries would give their citizens this same freedom. I wish especially that China would have this freedom. Perhaps it is not as far away as I fear' (4th April 1966), 'I think that Orchid Girl must be Imperial Woman. I am sending you a copy of this book (no longer present) which I consider one of my best' (4th December 1967), 'Thank you very much for your kind note sharing with us our sad loss of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. I value especially this coming from your country, and coming from you' (3rd July 1968), 'I do not myself have copies of my Chinese Trilogy, House of Earth. I think it is in print again - it was out of print for a while. If you will write to my publisher….I am sure they will send you a copy in English' (5th May 1969), 'It is always good to hear from your country for our newspapers have very little news from your part of the world, although Americans admire Yugoslavians very much. It is kind of you to speak as generously of my books, I am happy that you like them. The translation of the Chinese novel in English has only just come back into print, so perhaps it will come to your country, but I fear the translation there will be very difficult' (23rd February 1970; A.L.S.), 'Thank you very much for your kind birthday wishes. I have almost forgotten my birthday - there are so many of them - but it is pleasant to have others remember it' (25th June 1970). All of the letters are accompanied by the original envelopes.
