ALS, one page both sides, 5 x 8, March 6, 1946. Letter to Una Gwynn Albery, in part: "Thank you so much for the book & the tea which came this afternoon. No two things could be more welcome to a sober Irishman than a good book & a package of good tea. I daresay you know the Irish proverb: ‘Marbhle taeagus marbh gan é—dead with tea and dead withoutit.’ I am convinced that there is an undiscovered vitamin in tea. I’m sure I shall enjoy the book. Ay, indeed, O’Leary had a fine Tolstoyan head, broader a little, & not quite so long; but very like that of the Russian. Strange, how he was such a poor writer." In fine condition.
