ANS signed “G. Bernard Shaw,” one page, 5.25 x 4, May 8, 1924. Opinionated note to an autograph seeker. In full: “Sing, you young idiot: sing to the Lord; and don’t collect autographs. A certain conciseness in your letter has struck me to the extent of saving it from the fire. Now that you have got the autograph, take my advice and sell it. You are not the only fool in the world.” A central vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature and some scattered toning, otherwise fine condition. A humorous note demonstrating Shaw’s characteristic sharp wit.
