ALS signed “W. B. Yeats,” one page, 3.5 x 5.5, personal letterhead, March 6. [1921]. Letter to writer Richard Arthur Warren Hughes, referencing fellow poet John Masefield. In full: "I shall come with pleasure, if you can find room for one more. Masefield is more thoroughly married than any man I know." Handsomely double-matted and framed with the original mailing envelope (addressed in Yeats's hand) and a portrait to an overall size of 16.5 x 16.5. In fine condition. Yeats first met Masefield in London in November 1900, and the two remained close friends until Yeats's death in 1939. An interesting piece of literary correspondence.
