TLS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.25 x 10.5, Arcan Ridge letterhead, no date. Keller writes “Dearest Katharine” (stage actress Katharine Cornell) in care of Harvard House in Westport, Connecticut. In part: “The glow of Polly’s and my several visits with you since Christmas-time has warmed us through a tiresomely cold winter. Gratefully I remember meeting you on the train years ago and how our hearts flew open to you. Of course we had known of your ennobling work in the drama as a way to foster idealism in the people, and we had admired you with an almost reverential affection, and O, what a happiness it was when your sweet human love encircled us! That made you a real person, and while it does not dim to us your achievements, it is as dearest Katharine that we feel most close to you. Yet it is because you are such a beautiful inspirer of your fellowmen that you are so precious…At last the tea to launch the campaign for the blind of Europe has been arranged at the Cosmopolitan Club...How sorry Polly and I will be not to have you with us then!...It is poetic justice on the spot that you are to appear in ‘Anthony and Cleopatra.’ For you will impart…a rich human interpretation to a play which is too easily rendered pompous by the dazzle of Roman grandeur and Egyptian ceremony.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Robust accolades from Keller to the actress!
