COWARD,  Noel.  AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS)  with  fine  theater
content.  [London]: 29 July 1941. Splendid AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED  on
17  Gerald  Road,  S.W.1.  letterhead on one side  but  for  the  last
sentence,  closing,  and very large SIGNATURE on the verso. To  Robert
Bishop,  in  full: "I was very interested to get your  nice  letter. I
had  a  miniature theater when I was younger than you & I  have  never
forgotten  all  the pleasure it gave me. I think, taken all round,  it
is  a good plan to go to a training school such as [?] [?]--  although
I  did not do so myself. I rather advise it as it is so much easier to
get  an  opening through a school than on one's own. Anyway, all  good
luck  to you." Accompanied by three letters from Coward's secretary to
Bishop. Normal creases from folding. Near Fine                 $500.00
