Exceptional ALS signed “E. Pound,” one page both sides, 5.75 x 4.25, personal portrait stationery, July 12, 1959. Unusual handwritten letter from Pound who writes on one side, "every man has the right to have his ideas examined one at a time. The present tax system is unadulterated shit soaked in stupidity," with the other side making reference to the English translator and poet Edward Powys Mathers and his pseudonym "Torquemada." Attractively double-matted and framed to an overall size of 13 x 11.5; the backing has a window for viewing the opposite side. In fine condition. A decidedly appealing letter containing Pound's delightfully pithy use of aphorisms—Pound's portrait stationery is seldom encountered.
