Description

In a rare handwritten letter, the author of Animal Farm and 1984 arranges a meeting on Friday the 13th

ANS signed “Geo. Orwell,” one page, 5 x 8, no date. Brief note to David George. In full: “How about Friday (13th—I suppose you meant this week) at Antoine’s at 1:15 pm?” Small cigarette burn to right edge, lightly affecting a single word of text, scattered light creasing, and some mild toning to top edge, otherwise fine condition. Orwell is quite scarce in any form, particularly handwritten letters. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
