W. H. AUDEN AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED [ALS]
1946. One-page autograph letter signed by W. H. Auden with one horizontal fold and three vertical, housed in the original envelope. Undated, but postmarked March 22, 1946, it answers a request for an autograph and a handwritten copy of a poem. The autograph was agreed to, but the poem had a very snarky answer: "You are welcome to my autograph, but I will not copy out a poem because / a) I am too lazy / b) You couldn't read it if I did. / c) Why should I?" Letter is in Very Good condition with light wear. Light age toning to envelope, tears to flap, handwritten return address to flap. KW Consignment. Shelved case 0. More
