Description

"I never met the late Mr. Henry James"

TLS, one page, 7 x 8, Faber and Faber Limited letterhead, June 26, 1951. Letter to Georges Markow, in full: "I have your letter of June 20th. While I should be glad to find time to see you, if it were likely to be profitable for you, I must explain that you have written to me under a misapprehension. I never met the late Mr. Henry James personally, and while I am certainly one of his admirers, I have no more intimate or comprehensive acquaintance with his work than innumerable other readers. I am afraid that for your purpose, I would have nothing to contribute to the results of your researches." In fine condition, with a faint block of toning from prior display.
