A manuscript of Truman Capote's unpublished first novel has been found in a box of papers and will be auctioned Friday at Sotheby's. The first draft of Summer Crossing--the story of a 17-year-old girl who has been left in New York while her parents spend the summer in Europe--was at the bottom of a box of Capote manuscripts and photos that was consigned by a relative of Capote's former house sitter. Sotheby's estimates the manuscript will sell for $70,000 to $100,000. (AP)
