^Lot 608 T. S. Eliot

TLS, one page, 7 x 8, Faber and Faber Limited letterhead, October 27, 1953. Letter to the reverend W. R. Lewis. In part: “I thank you for your letter…correcting my error about the Parish Council. I am really quite aware that such a matter only concerns the Parochial Church Council, and am making the rectification. I was also quite aware that the appointment of an organist is made by the vicar, but, as I happen to know, the vicar may consult the Parochial Church Council and the churchwardens where there is any case of doubt….” In the lower left corner Eliot goes on to add in his hand, “being a church warden myself.” In very good condition, with uniform toning from previous display, toning to top corners from old tape on reverse, some scattered light foxing, and a central horizontal and vertical fold.
