Description

"Cows indeed stir calcium dust, breathe it, and remain immune from tubercles, but this does not stir medical circles"

TLS signed “Ez. P.,” one page on a 5.75 x 4 personal postcard from Via Marsala, Rapallo, February 2, 1938. Pound writes to Arnold Gingrich, editor and co-founder of Esquire magazine. In full: "Cows indeed stir calcium dust, breathe it, and remain immune from tubercles, but this does not stir medical circles." On the reverse, Pound humorously addressed the postcard to "(Benedict?) Arnold Gingrich." In fine condition.
