TLS signed “G. Bernard Shaw,” one page, 7 x 4.5, personal letterhead, January 30, 1937. Letter to Robert Messulam, in part: "A perfect picture is not possible. At all events I cannot design one. I do not write for the approval of all picture goers in all towns and in all spheres of life, but for people who have a cultivated taste for the particular class of work that my name is identified with. I shall most certainly not agree to have my work meddled with by an American or American-trained expert. If you want his work you need not come to me. If you want mine there is no occasion for his services. On the whole I think you had better conclude that you have come to the wrong shop." In fine condition, with old adhesive remnants along one reverse edge.
