TLS, one page, 7.5 x 9.5, Connemara Farms, Flat Rock, N. C. letterhead, December 2, 1947. In a letter to his friend, Mr. Garrison, Sandburg writes, in full: “Thank you for so kindly and remembering a letter. It is the kind of letter I will keep to read when I feel particularly useless. As it happens, the chances are that on February 12 I will be on the west coast and can’t share in your event. Am now bringing through a rather heavy book that on publication will have only the minor certainty that it will harm none of the great human causes you support. It is good to have you located and come next spring I hope to seek you out in New York.” Cloth-matted and framed, with a photo of Sandburg and two descriptive plaques, one referring to “a rather heavy book, this work, Remembrance Rack, (1948), was his only fictional piece, which exceeded one thousand pages,” to an overall size of 20 x 29.5. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one passing precisely through the space between the first and second letter of the last name, and a stamped date at the top right corner. Oversized.
