TLS signed “Graham,” one page, 6 x 7.75, La Residence des Fleurs letterhead, September 11, 1989. Letter to Arnold A. Rogow, in part: "I must say the FBI release I sold at Sothebys was a good deal more interesting. It contained more interesting blacked out passages. Felix Greene plays a rather heavy part in this volume. I doubt whether this one is worth selling at Sothebys even if I include my CIA letter. What do you think?…Shirley Temple and I have become quite pen-pals. She has also sent me a copy of her autobiography. I expect you have seen that she has been appointed ambassador in Prague which is a very important and key post under present circumstances. What I would like to do when the weather gets less hot and if I could get a visa which I doubt is to go to Prague and meet her there. Another Czech character I could meet at the same time whom I knew back in 1969 is Havel. He seems to be in and out of prison." In very fine condition. In 1984, Sotheby's sold the FBI file kept on Graham Greene; at one time, he had been banned from entering the United States due to Communist affiliations. A fascinating letter form the revered novelist.
