TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, July 16, 1935. Wolfe writes to Mr. Aschaffenburg. In full: “I want to thank you very sincerely for your letter of April 15. The reason for my delay in answering you is that I have just returned from Europe and have had no mail for the last four months. I cannot answer your fine letter in the way it deserves to be answered because of the great accumulation of mail and business which must be attended to right away, but I do want to tell you that any writer would be proud to know that something he has written has meant as much to any reader, and I thank you most gratefully for having written to tell me so. I am going to Colorado next week, but when I return in the fall, perhaps we can get together.” Intersecting mailing folds, light vertical mailing fold touching first name and a few minor wrinkles, otherwise fine, clean condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
