SHAW, George Bernard. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) with reference to 
William Morris. London, 17 Nov. 1928. Short letter SIGNED by the author 
on his personal stationery to H. Daus. In full: "Many thanks for the 
quaint book on hanging. You are right about the printing. The 
lengthening and shortening of the paragraphs to avoid white streaks 
across the page so greatly prolonged the labor of proof correction and 
increased the cost of making the corrections that I am not likely to 
face it again; but I could not resist my desire to make the book look 
handsomer. My association with William Morris made me fastidious in this 
matter. Faithfully, G. Bernard Shaw." Neatly tipped to cardboard and 
framed under glass (8" x 6"). Faint crease from mailing down center. 
Near Fine, framed. (#013019)        $850.00
