Description

“I ought to be at my desk trying to figure out why the hell Bertie Wooster’s Aunt Dahlia should have engaged Sir Roderick Glossop (incognito) as her butler”

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, October 5, 1958. Letter to humorist S. J. Perelman. In part: “Thanks a thousand (1000) times for sending me this superb book. It has come, however, at rather a bad time, as I am trying to think out a plot for a new novel and was concentrating beautifully till it arrived. I now find myself sneaking off to the book shelf and holding down the Most S. J. Perelman when I ought to be at my desk trying to figure out why the hell Bertie Wooster’s Aunt Dahlia should have engaged Sir Roderick Glossop (incognito) as her butler, an absolutely essential item of my story.” In fine condition, with creasing to edges. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
