Highly esteemed Spanish poet, playwright, and artist (1898–1936) executed by Nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War. ALS in Spanish, signed “Federico G. Lorca,” one page, 8 x 8, the 22nd, month and year unspecified but circa 1918. Untranslated letter to Maria del Reposo Urquia, a young woman he had met around 1917. Lorca apologizes for not having written sooner and mentions that he would like to hear her play piano. He also asks if she received a book that he sent and what she thought of it, cautioning that one part contains some criticism of religion that may bother her. Includes the original mailing envelope, addressed in Lorca’s hand. Both are mounted and framed to an overall size of 12 x 17. In fine condition, with a vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature, and a few water spots or ink blotches to both the letter and envelope.
