English writer (1903–1966) best known for darkly humorous and satirical novels. Scarce ALS, one page both sides, 4.5 x 7, White’s letterhead, June 10, 1948. Letter to Mrs. Ernest Thesiger. In part: “I shall be very proud to think we were related but I don’t think that we are. My family were farmers…until about 200 years ago. Then my great, great grandfather, Alexander Waugh (vide D.N.B.) came to London set up as a popular preacher and made a prosperous marriage. I am pretty sure that my pedigree does not connect anywhere with the one you sent me.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope as well as the family tree sent to Waugh by Thesiger. RR Auction COA.
