ALS, one page both sides, 7 x 9, King’s College letterhead, October 28, 1958. Thoughtful letter to writer Rex Warner. In part: “My glimpse of you yesterday reminded me that I had never…thanked you for your lecture…I am very glad that you cared to quote me, and—still more—to quote Dickinson. But it is a difficult ticket. I fear that sensitivity, the arts, and all that, can only be defended on the grounds that they are good in themselves. I don’t write this high-mindedly. I only wish it was otherwise. The bait we hold out…is that the life of the imagination & the belief that the world is interesting may in the long run make society and the individuals in it more comfortable.” In fine condition.
