The political insights of one of America’s greatest novelists are on display in this letter signed by the immortal Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950). Penned entirely in Burrough’s hand, the message reveals the writer’s impressions with respect to the forming of a League of Nations. Dated June 5, 1923 and addressed to one D. P. Rick, the note reads, “A League of Nations would become a mere scrap of paper when it ceases to serve the purposes of a powerful member. Like socialism, it is a lovely theory.” A full-name, “Edgar Rice Burroughs” signature closes the thoughtful comment, and every bit of the writer’s black ink writing remains vibrant against his personal letterhead (6 x 3.5). Modest paper loss at the edges and standard compacting folds in no way detract from the item’s otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
