TLS signed “Thornton W. Burgess,” one page, 8.25 x 7, personal letterhead, March 18, 1929. Letter to an admirer. In full: “Sister South Wind has just whispered to me that Buster Bear is beginning to get a little uneasy in his sleep and presently will be stirring. So I suspect that any day soon he may come shuffling along through the Green Forest to find out if anything has been left over winter [sic] for him to eat. I am glad you like Buster and the stories about him. I rather like him myself. If he were wide awake I know he would send you his love. As it is, Peter Rabbit wants to send his and I send my own with it.” Intersecting folds passing through parts of the signature, and light foxing and toning, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. RR Auction COA.
