Description

“It is a bit of a risk going back to a place (Heidelberg) that one has not been for more than sixty years”

ALS signed “W. S. Maugham,” one page, 5 x 8, April 16. Letter of thanks for a gift. In part: “Thank you very kindly for…the charming present you have sent me. I am very grateful. I shall take the tie with me to Germany & Austria and expect to make quite a sensation with it in those countries. It is a bit of a risk going back to a place (Heidelberg) that one has not been for more than sixty years. I am taking it with some reservations. If the recollection of the past is too painful I can always come away.” In fine condition, with some scattered light creases, a few passing through signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
