ALS signed “Much love, Harper,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, March 1, 2009. Handwritten letter to Felice Itzkoff, in part: "You of the beautiful face and penmanship: I have just finished reading The Narnian, a biography of C.S. Lewis, who to my mind was the greatest Christian apologist since St. Paul, (and whom you probably know far more about than I do, but you being of the Hebrew persuasion, I inquire…) At any rate, after a life of scholarly solitude in Cambridge, he, in middle age, ups and marries a Jewish divorcée from the Bronx! They lived happily until her untimely death. Lewis wrote, in my opinion, one of the great autobiographies—'Surprised by Joy' (not Joy Davidman, but Wordsworth?) Oh well, I am crazy—what a weird letter for me to write, so please forgive my looniness." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Lee's own hand and incorporating her surname in the return address area.
