A mimeographed typescript of the prequel to her 1939 drama THE LITTLE FOXES. Patricia Neal, making her Broadway debut, won a Tony Award for her performance in this play. Made into a film in 1948 starring Fredric March. A few occasional marks in the text. It's not clear to whom this belonged, but certainly someone involved in the original production.
