Description

“I am unrevisably opposed to traffic in autograph-related compliments between authors and their readers”

American writer (1901–1991) known for her association with Robert Graves. Scarce TLS signed “Laura (Riding) Jackson, Mrs. Schuyler B. Jackson,” one page, 8.5 x 11, December 9, 1978. Response to an autograph seeker. In part: “I am unrevisably opposed to traffic in autograph-related compliments between authors and their readers, regarding them as false, superficial, emblems of relationship, simulating non-existent personal relations between them…Very rarely, I feel reason to make an exception to this rule of mine. I do not feel such reason, in this instance.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
