TLS signed “Peggy,” one page, 7.25 x 10, personal letterhead, August 15, 1940. In a letter to her friend Evangeline [Burkhardt], in full: “Your wedding announcement has just arrived and I was so pleased and happy to have it. I hope you realize how much happiness and good fortune I am wishing you and how much I am congratulating your brand new husband on securing so fine a bride. You remember that you left a phone call for me some days ago, with the message that you would not be at that address except for a few hours. I did not get in until late in the afternoon, as I was chasing clothes for the refugees from Bersheeba to Dan (which, roughly translated, means from Roswell to Hapeville). I felt that you were phoning me to tell me that you were on your way to get married, but I did not breathe a word of it for fear I was wrong. It I was right in this idea, then I thank you so much for thinking of me at this time. I’m going to town today to buy you a present, which I expect to use when I come through Charlotte!” In very good condition, with three horizontal mailing folds and the bottom portion folded and creased, scattered surface creasing, and a uniform shade of toning with a lighter strip of toning across the bottom edge, and a few light spots of soiling. This letter boasts a pristine and informal signature from the writer who was heralded for producing one of the most prolific novels of the 20th century.
