British art historian and personal art adviser to the queen (1907–1983) who confessed to being a member of the Cambridge Five, a group of spies working for the Soviet Union between the 1930s and early 1950s. Rare ALS, one page, 5.25 x 7, no date but circa September 1980. Letter to Mr. Lee, in part: "Thank you very much indeed for your letter & the enclosed letter with Biggleswade Chronicle. I'm, as you can imagine, warming to get support of this kind, and I am most grateful to you—The press continues, but I believe there is to be a letter in my defence from Dennis Proctor in the London Review of Books today (or is it next week?) My Greek is more or less nil, but I got a friend to translate your epigram on Andrew Low, which I much enjoyed." In fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of the referenced Proctor article. The first Blunt-signed item we have ever offered.
