[Rarebooks] FS: Handwritten SIGNED Letter by Alice B. Toklas

[Charles Agvent]

TOKLAS, Alice B. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Paris, 18 October 1959. 
A fine two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED on one side of two pieces of 
5-1/4" x 8" onionskin paper personal stationery to Saul Mauraker. In 
part: "It is you -- not I -- who are sweet and wonderful -- you are too 
good -- too kind." Toklas thanks him for scarves delivered to her by 
young friends: "Well in spite of the disorder and my dishevelled state 
-- we had a nice talk." She tells him to save his pennies to come to 
Paris to visit instead of giving "extravagant gifts to old ladies!... I 
went to lunch with Jo Barry, he was enthusiastic about the scarf. Is it 
Russian or Polish, he asked. I showed him the mark 'Pure wool 100% 
Sacks-Fifth-Avenue [sic]... 'Oh' said Jo. New York is the capital of 
Poland and Russia!'" SIGNED "Alice." With the original envelope 
addressed in Toklas's hand. Faint creases from mailing. Fine. (#019437) 
     $750
