ALS, one page, 8.75 x 11, no date [but February 12, 1922], Taormina villa Fontana Vecchia. Letter to British antiques and art dealer Albert Henry Stopford, in full: “Thank you very much; we will come on Wednesday. About tonight I am not sure, one feels so cold and unexpansive. Bitter this sky, with almond blossom.” In fine condition, with scattered light creasing, and a missing upper right corner tip. Published in The Letters of D. H. Lawrence, this letter is dated to February 12, 1922, and concludes with Lawrence’s furtive allusion to ‘Almond Blossom,’ a poem he had written during his stay at the Fontana Vecchia in January of the previous year.
