Historical Note
Cutler, a lawyer and aide to President Eisenhower, graduated from Harvard Law School in 1922. He wrote two novels as a young man, neither of which were very successful commercially. While at Harvard, Cutler met western writer Owen Wister, who was co-founder of Harvard University's Tavern Club. Cutler wrote a comic opera in 1934 which was performed for the Club.
Content Description
Collection consists mainly of letters from Owen Wister to Cutler from 1915 to 1924 in which Wister offers advice to Cutler on writing his novels. There are also the libretto and music for Cutler's opera with a few related pieces of correspondence with Wister, and Cutler's 1939 reminiscences of Wister.
