Lloyd Cassel Douglas (August 27, 1877 – February 13, 1951) born Doya C. Douglas, was an American minister and author. Douglas was one of the most popular American authors of his time, although he did not write his first novel until he was 50. His written works were of a distinctly religious tone.

Critics held that his fiction was in the tradition of the great religious writings of an earlier generation, such as Ben-Hur and Quo Vadis. Douglas then wrote Forgive Us Our Trespasses; Precious Jeopardy; Green Light; White Banners; Disputed Passage; Invitation To Live; Doctor Hudson's Secret Journal; The Robe, and The Big Fisherman.

New York: E. L. Doctorow, 2009. Original letter. Typed Letter Signed. Typed letter from E. L. Doctorow to Mr. Roger A. Lewis dated January 2, 2009. Letter is on one side of an 8.5 inch by 11 inch sheet. Letter has been folded into thirds to fit into a standard envelop. It has four paragraphs, only two of which are substantive. A copy of the incoming letter to Professor Doctorow is includes, along with the envelop that Professor Doctorow's response came in. Mr. Lewis had apparently attended a program at the National Archives at which Professor Doctorow appeared. He inquired of Professor Doctorow "how do you, as an author, view adaptations of your work." Professor Doctorow in part replied that " Four or five movies have been made from my work, each with a different way of failing. The Ragtime and Billy Bathgate films were a particular disappointment." He later says that "The musical adaptation of Ragtime was more successful..." The two substantive paragraphs provide insight into how Professor Doctorow viewed the difficulty film makers have with his work, since they are "heavily voiced, or, in the case of Billy Bathgate, because significant moral developments occur in the mind of the narrator. Movies can only look in on people. Billy Bathgate, as narrator of the novel, looks out at the world." He further addressed why the musical form was better suited for adaptation of his work. More
