ALS in German, signed “Love, D. H. L.,” on a 5.5 x 3.5 photo postcard of Ile de Port-Cros (Var), no date, but postmarked October 15, 1928. Postcard to “Frau Dr. Else Jaffe” [his sister in law] in Heidelberg. In full (translated): “Saturday—Frieda came back last night by car from St. Raphael, because the silly little train was on strike. The Aldingtons wrote from the island, they say it is beautiful, and they enjoy it very much, and want us to join them. So we go Monday, when the sea is calm! I have sent you already my ‘collected poems.’” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of mild toning.

Lawrence had married Frieda von Richtofen, from a well-known noble German family (and cousin of the ‘Red Baron’ Manfred von Richtofen) and was close to her siblings, among which was Elsa Jaffé, one of the first female social scientists in Germany, and Frieda’s sister. He mentions the poet Richard Aldington, and his own “Collected Poems” that had just been published.
