TLS, one page, 7 x 8, Faber and Faber Limited letterhead, January 14, 1959. Letter to French writer and lawyer Maurice Garcon, in full: "Your letter of the 12th January arrived simultaneously with the number of the Mercure de France. I am very pleased to have my address on Kipling appear in this way, but I am still happier and very proud that it should be followed by your delightful 'Complement a T. S. Eliot.' I have written to the Director of the Mercure de France as you suggest. With most cordial good wishes to you and Madame Garcon from my wife and myself." In fine condition, with a small crease to the lower left corner tip. The January 1959 issue of the French gazette and literary magazine Mercure de France featured Eliot's discourse on his predecessor, Rudyard Kipling—ostensibly his essay A Choice of Kipling's Verse—as well as Garcon's welcome to the newly elected member of the Academie Septentrionale.
