Description

TLS signed “Yours most sincerely, Charles,” one page, 8 x 13, Highgrove House letterhead, January 9, 2001. Letter to "Miss Bailey," in full: "I just wanted you to know how very much I enjoyed my tour of IPC before Christmas. It was immensely interesting—and, I have to admit, enjoyable!—to see so much of how a busy and successful magazine company operates and how you nurture and develop the heritage and culture (and commercial success!) of the individual titles.

Your offer to give some private advice on whether there might be any point in trying to bring back to life my 'Perspectives on Architecture' magazine was also much appreciated and I will ask Mark to be in touch to see whether there might be any possibilities. In the past, we just did not have access to the right commercial expertise—and, I have to say, the editorial content was never as focused as it should have been. Anyway, I would be very grateful if you could cast your eye over it all! This comes with my warmest thanks and every best wish for the New Year." In very fine condition.


From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
