[Rarebooks] FS: Scarce Handwritten Letter by T. S. Eliot

[Charles Agvent]

ELIOT, T. S. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). [London], [21 September 
1949] postmark. A two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) on both sides 
of 7" x 8" personal stationery to Peggy [Lady Mallet, wife of Sir Victor 
Mallet, British Ambassador at Rome]. Eliot profusely apologizes that he 
is unable to find a free night and morning to stay with the Mallets at 
Wittersham House near Tenterden: "My only consolation is, that I know I 
ought to keep as quiet as possible until the German tour: but I am sorry 
not to be able to show my proficiency in housework (it was during a 
blitz that I learned how to make bread sauce).... I must think of some 
mission to take me to Rome next year, which would make it necessary that 
I should be the guest of the Embassy." SIGNED as "Tom." With the 
original envelope addressed by Eliot, with the stamp removed. Letters in 
Eliot's hand are much more uncommon than typed letters. Creases from 
mailing, otherwise Fine. (#019388)     $2,000.00
