ALS, one page, 5 x 8, January 4, 1959. Letter to author Mark Van Doren regarding his autobiography. In part: “I cannot wait longer to tell you my joy in it. It is a book to savor—and that gluttonously—so I hope not to finish it too soon. It is a beautiful book…I have found wisdom and strength as well as beauty (though perhaps they are elements of human beauty and it is such a human—and humane—book).” In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
