FROST, Robert. COLLECTED POEMS OF ROBERT FROST with AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT 
POEM SIGNED. New York: Henry Holt and Company, (1930). First Edition. 
First Trade Edition. Crane A14.1: one of 3870 copies printed from the 
plates of the Random House limited edition. Winner of a Pulitzer Prize. 
Laid in on an unruled index card is a fair copy AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT of 
a poem, "A Time To Talk," completely in Frost's hand and SIGNED by him 
at the conclusion with the dedication "For (looks like George but we 
don't think so) Bush." A comparison to the poem, first printed in 
MOUNTAIN INTERVAL and here printed on page 156 reveals that Frost has 
added a line in the copy he has made. After "Blade-end up and five feet 
tall," Frost has added "Like a sunflower stalk," which is not included 
in the printed poem. A fine and scarce example of an altered holograph 
poem by Frost. Fine, lacking the uncommon dustwrapper. (#010927)        
$9,500.00
