Description

“If I seemed unappreciative of the etching of Tudor Hall it was because I was in a somewhat distraught mood - I’m delighted with it & very proud to own it.”

ALS signed 'Scott Fitz,' two pages, 8.5 x 11, Grove Park Inn letterhead, no date. Letter to artist Don Swann. In full, 'If I seemed unappreciative of the etching of Tudor Hall it was because I was in a somewhat distraught mood - I'm delighted with it and very proud to own it. The reason I didn't want the one of Hampton was because the Pleasance Ridgely from whom I am descended, outdated the present mansion by a generation and I thought it would be pretentious of me to hang it for that reason. But direct ancestors did live in Tudor Hall so you can imagine the pleasure it gives me. (What do copies sell for by the way?) I was a little disturbed by Don Junior - he is a fine man, and I'm sorry he has such sharp edges and I hope that girl isn't putting him through any special hells.' In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
