Autograph Letter Signed to Miss Eileen Cond
saying the she is a serious collector! And when one has a collection of this size it begins to become really valuable as a comparative display of handwritings. I never refuse an autograph when a stamped envelope is enclosed but the real and condemnable wretches never send stamps or envelopes. They think they are conferring a favour in asking. And I would remove every one of them from the earth. Not you..., 1 side 8vo., Old Tokefield, Cranleigh, Surrey, 28th July
