Autographed note signed ("Nelson"), 1 page on the back of the invitation to his February 27, 1965 wedding to Betty Bendyk. Algren invites Gwendolyn Brooks and her husband, Harry, to have drinks with him, his fiance and friends, including "The Terkels" (i.e. Studs Terkel), Friday the 26th (the evening before his wedding), "any time after 5," and includes his telephone number. A fascinating association item, bringing together three icons of Chicago literary history.
