Russian-born author (1905–1982) who famously espoused an “objectivist” philosophy.

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, September 25, 1950. Rand responds to a fan. In part: “I am glad you liked The Fountainhead. My other published works were We Are the Living, a novel published in 1936 and Anthem, a short novelette published in 1946…. I am working now on my next novel [evidently Atlas Shrugged, published in 1957] which will not be ready for sometime, but I hope you will like it when it comes out….” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Mailing fold touching upper portion of signature, otherwise very fine, fresh condition. A beautifully preserved example boasting a superb association with her most famous works! R&R COA.
