TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, November 12, 1962. Letter to Mrs. Bauer, in full: "I can't tell you how happy your letter of congratulation has made me, but I'm going to try. Anyone who says he doesn't like a friendly pat on the back is untruthful or a fool. Far from the least rewarding results of the Nobel Award to me have been the many letters of congratulation which are a clear indication to me that people care. It was kind and generous of you to take the time to write and I thank you in the only way I know." In fine condition, with scattered light toning and an old tape stain to top edge. The 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to John Steinbeck 'for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception.'
