[Rarebooks] FS: Thornton Wilder Letter

[Charles Agvent]

WILDER, Thornton. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Hamden, CT. A two-page 
AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) to Signor Cameramer on both sides of a 6" 
x 3-3/4" Deepwood Drive index card with two holes punched in the left 
margin. In full: "Many thanks for your letter, for your generous 
invitation, and for the copies of the Quaderni. These last few years I 
have delivered many lectures -- especially last year at Harvard. The 
result has been that I have now taken a 'vow' not to speak in public for 
a number of years. My many visits to Italy have been a constant joy. I 
hope to make many more, and soon. I particularly wish--for the first 
time--to visit Turin. I hope then to have the pleasure of calling on and 
hearing more from you about the work of the A.C.I. I have been reading 
the Quaderni with much interest. I particularly appreciated the paper on 
the sonnets of Belli, and the pages of Mario Praz -- always so largely 
master of his theme. Many thanks again for your letter, and much regret 
that at this time I cannot take part in your Association's work. 
Sincerely yours, Thornton Wilder." The QUADERNI ACI (Associazione 
Culturale Italiana) was a periodical published in Turin. Some light 
wrinkling, otherwise Fine with exceptional content. (#020612)        $450
