[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED Letter from Tennessee Williams to his cousin

[Charles Agvent]

WILLIAMS, Tennessee. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS). One-page letter SIGNED 
"Tom" on 8-12" x 11" onionskin to his cousin Jim. In full: "A 
well-deserved feeling of shame has made me hesitant about asking you if 
you’d be willing to occupy the house when I set forth on my long journey 
to the Orient, by way of Texas and such diverse stops as New York and 
London. Tony Smith’s widow, Jane, and her daughter Bebe will be staying 
here till about Jan. 17th but after that time we have as yet found no 
one to move in after they leave and I can’t bring myself to give the 
creatures away, or put them in a kennel. As you know, they include 
Topaze, Cornelius, and a very funny new parrot, Juanita -- the old one 
Lorito has departed for the great aviary in the sky. If you or Stell -- 
I mean and/or Stell -- can’t take over, perhaps you now of some truly 
responsible person that could. Do you know the new telephone number 
here? It is 4-1430. Since we’re leaving this Thursday for Texas -- I am 
entering a hospital briefly under Texas Kate’s supervision -- do please 
drop by or call to discuss all this." Some wrinkling and creases from 
mailing. Very Good. (#021391)     $900
