Description

Choice autograph from 'Ellerslie,' Fitzgerald's riverside mansion

ANS, one page, 5 x 6.5, no date but circa late 1920s. Beautifully penned note from Fitzgerald, in full: "Dear Miss Sherlock, What a nice cordial letter. Thank you. Faithfully yours, F. Scott Fitzgerald, 'Ellerslie,' Edgemoor, Delaware." In fine condition, with trimmed edges and a horizontal fold. In March 1927, F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda moved into 'Ellerslie,' a mansion located on the Delaware River, where they stayed until 1929. There they hosted many of the lavish 'Roaring '20s' parties that have come to characterize Fitzgerald's work, and they welcomed celebrity guests including Ernest Hemingway. A superb autograph from the height of Fitzgerald's career.
