Letter. Condizione: Very Good. 5" X 7.5"; 2 pages; Manuscript Letter Signed by Joe Minton to Mrs. Rowland Evans ["Kay Evans"] "28 February / Dear Kay & Rowly - / Rainey has, I think, / already tried to thank / you for that truly / special dinner at / your house the other / night but I am / compelled to add my / own expression of a / sense of total gratitude. // I absolutely loved / that evening with you / and was so glad to / see everyone there I / got completely choked up. (In my late 50's [sic] / I have begun to cry // when I am moved. / What will I be like / at 70?) // Sloppy and sentimental / to the end. I have / to tell you again how / very much you both / mean to me -- and have for many years. / We don't see half / enough of you, but it / gives me a good, warm / feeling just knowing / you are there. // Bless you, / Joe" Joseph A. Minott (1922-2009) was a American foreign service officer from 1948 to 1971. After serving in the Army Air Corps in England until 1945, he graduated cum laude from Harvard in 1948 and joined the foreign service. He was a political analyst at all his foreign postings. Mr. Minott worked in the U.S. diplomatic offices in Oslo, Norway, from 1954 to 1957; in Paris from 1957 to 1963; and in what is now Antananarivo, Madagascar, from 1963 to 1965. After returning to Washington, he worked in the U.S. offices in Cape Town in 1967-68; in Port Louis, Mauritius, in 1969-70; and in Saigon, South Vietnam, in 1970-71. His wife Lorraine "Rainey" Disston Lukens Minott died in 2000. PROVENANCE: Rowland Evans was a provocative newspaper columnist, commentator and author who antagonized liberal politicians and championed conservative causes. He left Yale and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 during World War II and was discharged in 1944 because of malaria. In 1963, Mr. Evans and Mr. Novak began writing ''Inside Report,'' an insider's view of politics that was published four times a week until Mr. Evans retired in 1993. Mr. Evans and Robert Novak began their work as columnists in the early 1960's, a time when newspaper columnists wielded outsize influence in national politics. The pair pioneered in transferring that influence to the medium of cable television with the political discussion program ''Evans & Novak'' -- carried on CNN from that cable network's beginning. Rowland Evans and his wife Kay (Katherine Winton Evans), also a respected writer and editor, were mainstays on the Washington social scene, hosting many memorable gatherings in their handsome Georgetown house -- to which flocked influential and remarkable people drawn from journalism, politics and general society over the decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Both Evans and Novak became more predictably conservative over the years, particularly during the Reagan years. Reportedly, both columnists voted for JFK in 1960 and for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Evans earned a place on Richard Nixon's infamous "Enemies List." Novak reported that Evans had JFK as a guest for the first dinner party the latter attended as President Elect. Kay and Rowland Evans has a particularly close friendship with Robert F. Kennedy, his wife Ethel and their family.…

"January 28th, 1963 / Dear Mrs. Katherine Evans, / This note of thanks to you is long overdue / Your mention of me in the New York Herald Tribune (nov. 1, 1962) was highly / complimentary and did increase my prestige with my daughter. / However, the mention of a recent purchase price for a [Franz] Kline, while / being accurate raised my esteem with my wife in a totally / different manner. She multiplied the number of paintings in my / possession by the sum of $18,000.00 that made me a millionaire. She / then asked for an increase in her daily household requirements. / (Naturally, I talked her out of it, with some minor difficulties.) // The opening night was memorable to me. I was lonely, sad / and oblivious of the huge crowd. Only when I read your column People on Paintings / did I realize that I was present among the elite of our Capitol. // I don't recollect how we were introduced. You impressed me as a / most unassuming, modest and polite person. Your husband was equally / as nice. Little did I realize that I was talking to a columnist (I / kept away from the Press). Only when I phoned you on the following day did / I discover your connection with the Press! // In comparing reports, descriptions and comments of that / memorable evening - published in various newspapers, yours / was the best! It had humour, dignity, vividness and accuracy. / Please accept from me the enclosed book as a very pleasant / remembrance. / My best regards to your husband. / Sincerely / I. David Orr / 279 Linwwod Cove / Cedarhurst, L.I. /N.Y." Refers to the Franz Kline Memorial Exhibition at the Sidney Janis Gallery in New York City. Mr. I. David Orr, a successful Long Island based businessman, an accomplished amateur painter, and a brilliant art collector, began collecting art in 1929, concentrating on American artists, especially admiring George Inness, the Hudson School, and also a fierce patron of Franz Kline. Orr's was an eclectic collection based on his own discerning taste.

Letter. Condizione: Very Good. Autograph; 8vo; 1 pages; Typed letter to Kay Evans Signed by Art Buchwald on his letterhead (7.25" x 10.25") Very Good condition, two faint fold marks. Manuscript corrections - scratching out "Ms. Katherine Winton Evans" and adding "Kay," in ink; signed "Art" and adding "a night to remember". Letterhead: ART BUCHWALD / 4329 Hawthorne St / Washington DC 20016. Note reads: "October 11, 2005 / Ms. Katherine Winton Evans / 3125 O St NW / Washington, DC 20007-3117 // Dear Ms Evans [crossed out] Kay, / Once in everybody's life (if he is lucky) a person is showered / with love, affection, and undeserved praise. // And so it was at the French Embassy, when I celebrated my / birthday and you enriched the Brady Center. // I thank you for the lavish support and I thank you for the nice / words, and I thank you for being there. // Let us continue the battle for sanity - but without guns. //Love, Art [signed in ink] / Art Buchwald / a night to remember [in ink]" A gala celebrating Art Buchwald's 80th Birthday held at the French Embassy in Washington on September 28th, with his famous and powerful pals as hosts. It was an event attended by le tout Washington and raised money for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The emcee was columnist Mark Shields, and others reportedly at the party included Ben Bradlee, Mike Wallace, and various members of the Kennedy family. Buchwald's friendship with Rowland and Kay Evans flourished over forty years; Kay Evans obviously also attended at this birthday party and gave generously to Buchwald's cause celebre. Arthur Buchwald (1925 â" 2007) was an American humorist best known for his column in The Washington Post. At the height of his popularity, it was published nationwide as a syndicated column in more than 500 newspapers. His column focused on political satire and commentary. Buchwald had first started writing as a paid journalist in Paris after World War II where he wrote a column on restaurants and nightclubs, "Paris After Dark", for the Paris Herald Tribune. He was part of a large American expatriate community in those years. After his return to the United States in 1962, he continued to publish his columns and books for the rest of his life. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 for Outstanding Commentary, and in 1991 was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, in addition to other awards. In the early 1960's Art Buchwald worked in an office across the hall from the office in which Evans and Novak worked to produced their daily column -- each for newspaper syndication. Evans and Novak prided themselves on their resolution to include "breaking" news in each of their "Inside Report" columns. Consequently, their work often involved furious typing right down to the last minute representing an absolute deadline for filing their column for the day. Buchwald reportedly took great delight in torturing one or both of his neighbors who were facing their deadline, as usual, whereas Buchwald would saunter across the hall to Evans and Novak's lair, waving a typed page or two constituting one of his humorous columns, proclaiming that he was now ten days ahead of schedule. "How are you fellows doing?" PROVENANCE: Rowland Evans was a provocative newspaper columnist, commentator and author who antagonized liberal politicians and championed conservative causes. He left Yale and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942 during World War II and was discharged in 1944 because of malaria.
