[Charles Agvent]

AUDEN, W. H. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). New York, 21 May 1947. 
Scarce AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED by the poet to a Mr. Roberts about his 
first book. In part: "Thank you for your letter. Unfortunately, I can 
help you very little myself. There was a little privately printed (on a 
hand-press by Stephen Spender) book of my poems in 1928. As to the Faber 
1930 volume, I have no idea how many copies there were in the first 
issue." Auden mentions John Heyward who managed an exhibition of first 
printings and how he can be reached at Faber. SIGNED "yours sincerely, 
W. H. Auden." Creases from folding, otherwise Near Fine. (#021417)
