Pulitzer Prize–winning American novelist and dramatist (1897–1975) whose works include such classics as The Bridge of San Luis Rey and Our Town. ALS, one page, 6.25 x 10.25, November 9, 1953. Letter to Reinhold Rüdiger, the theater manager of the Hannover state theater. In full: “Many thanks for your letter and for the program. I am delighted with the photographs and send my cordial congratulations and profound thanks to the actors, to the technical assistants and to yourself. I do not recognize all the sentiments ascribed to me in the program. I assume that some of them come from broadcasts which I made in Germany and which I have since forgotten. ‘Na ja’, they make me sound somewhat ‘schöne Seele’; my friends here would be surprised. It is a great pleasure to know that the audiences are following the play so closely.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition, with a mild overall shade of toning.
