Superb-content TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10, Bateman’s Burwash letterhead, December 19, 1921. Letter headed at the top “Private,” to Monsieur Davray at Le Petit Journal. In part: “I quite agree with you that journalism is the art of saying a thing again and again, but there are some things which one is not supposed to say aloud; or I should repeat that, whenever there is any difficulty between our two countries, one always finds, if one searched long enough, that the wire of that mine is connected with a Boche or a friend of Boche. This is the real war on which we are embarked.” Framed to an overall size of 9.5 x 12.5. Reverse of the frame bears remnants of an older catalog entry. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, a uniform shade of toning, and a small area of paper separation to top edge. An unusual offering presenting a darker and opinionated side of the prolific author. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
