ALS, one page both sides, 6 x 7, personal letterhead, December 24, 1927. Letter to author Naomi Mitchison, in part: “Your letter made me very proud and happy. It reached me when I was in bed following an operation for appendicitis…I had myself received from ‘Cloud Cuckoo Land’ the very sense of reality in the past that you tell me you have found in ‘The Bridge.’ Only all the duties of being a house master in a boys school have prevented my renewing to write ‘When the Bough breaks.’ For the Bridge I started from ‘Le Carrosse du Saint-Sacrement,’ a perfectly delightful comedy in one act by Merimee. I looked at the drawings for the Moscow Art Theatre Musical Studio’s production of the Offenbach operetta ‘La Perichole.’ Then I started to read some early priests’ accounts of the country, but grew tired…and invented the rest…Well, as I have said, it has made me very proud that so ‘immediate’ and splendid an author as yourself should have written me all the way from England.” In fine condition.
