West writes, in full: “I enjoyed myself so much at the Fellowship Tea. I am most grateful to you for the experience. It was most keen of you to ask me, and not only because it brought back my memories of Ellen Terry but because I met so many people there whom I admire and love. I feel it was one of the best things that have happened to me for a long time.” A central horizontal and vertical fold, one passing through a single letter of the signature, light creasing, and an ink and pencil notation, otherwise fine condition.
