Dealer Notes

A pleasing association copy of Bridge’s account of the numerous moments of “inexplicable ‘knowings,’” featuring a TLS to her “dear friend”, the Atlantic Monthly’s circulating manager, Teresa Fitzpatrick, expressing sympathy for her “nervous prostration” (possibly from Dexamyl).
It seems likely that the Anglo-American novelist Ann Bridge (pseud. of Lady Mary O’Malley (1889-1974)) met Teresa Fitzgerald (“the short, energetic woman who presided over the Atlantic’s circulation department”) when Bridge’s first novel Peking Picnic (1932) won the magazine’s $10, 000 prize. Fitzgerald is perhaps best remembered for her role in investigating and helping resolve the 1928 Lincoln love letters scam, in which the Atlantic Monthly and Ellery Sedgwick were embroiled.
