ALS signed “G. Bernard Shaw,” on a 3.5 x 5.5 personal postcard, August 16, 1929. Letter to Isaac Don Levine of The Book League of America in New York. In full: “There is no immediate question of publishing The Apple Cart. I now intend to hold it back until I am able to follow my usual course of publishing two or three plays in a single volume with prefaces. My rule is not to serialize. I am much obliged to you for your offer, and regret that the confusion into which my correspondence inevitably falls by its own magnitude should have put you to so much trouble." Shaw has addressed the reverse of the postcard as well. Light toning working in from edges and light vertical postal cancellations through left side of text, not affecting legibility, otherwise fine condition. Shaw went back on his word to his American correspondent and separately published the play with Constable and Company of London in 1930.
