Stuart writes, in part: “Have just received your card-greetings…And of course it’s same as a letter. And a letter or message from a friend brings back memories…In four years my wife and I have been to NYC only one time—and I love Manhattan—it’s a beautiful giant—Of course we’ll be in NYC again. Have a book on Dad—and he was quite a man—to be published this autumn. Then my wife, daughter, and I will go to Egypt this summer to stay a year. I shall be teaching in the American University in Cairo.” Light toning, creasing, and a few faint pencil notations towards the top, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
