Graham Glastonbury dated 1 June 1981 that includes an ORIGINAL 
MANUSCRIPT POEM. In full: "Here is a near new poem, commendably that for 
John Rothenstein's birthday celebration. Little Cavalier. The little dog 
barked all night long/at the tiger-lillies;/Who would look for an 
aesthete/in a lap-dog's eyes? I hope you will find this suitable." Light 
wear to the covers, with small chips at the spine tips. Very Good.
