Description

Overwhelmed by critics and admirers alike, the Nobel laureate responds

Printed letter signed “G. Bernard Shaw,” one page on a 5.5 x 3.5 postcard, no date. Stock response to letters about his controversial 1914 essay. In part: “I have received so many letters upon Common Sense About The War that I have had to give up all hope of dealing with them separately.” In a handwritten postscript, he adds: “An editor is sometimes much more impressed by the letters he doesn’t insert than by those he does.” In fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned portrait of Shaw in his younger years. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
