[Letters, 1942, London to William]. [1942]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/436270442

Three letters by Ruth Pitter addressed to "Dear William", discussing the author's new book (presumably "The rude potato"), which she calls a potboiler, noting that "2,000 subscribed before publication" but that "Macmillan (N.Y.) not only won't print it, but implore that no on shall, in America"; the author thanks William for his compliments and for the eggs he sent her; the verso of the earliest letter contains a typescript of a quote from Thomas Traherne, with "L. Goodwin 9.2.46" penciled below.

3 leaves : paper ; 203 x 126 mm.
