^Lot 518 Elizabeth Bowen

Irish author (1899–1973). ALS, two thin pages, 8 x 9.75, Carbery letterhead, November 15, 1965. Letter to Dr. William Quillian, president of Randolph Macon Woman’s College. In part: “I am indeed glad that you feel my visit went well; and in return I do want to tell you how very much I enjoyed my days at Randolph Macon—the warm welcome, the great friendliness extended to me, and the stimulating atmosphere. As I hope you know, a visitor to a college of your kind receives not only as much but probably more that he or she may be able—hopes to be able—to give.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Bowen’s hand and signed on the reverse of the envelope in the return address area. In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold and a few wrinkles.
