<B>Thomas Stearns Eliot Typed Letter Signed Politely Declining to Publish Poetry</B></I> recommended by the recipient. TLS "<I>T.S. Eliot</B></I>" on Faber and Faber LTD Publishers letterhead, one page, 7" x 8", London, September 23, 1947, to Eames MacVeagh, Esq., in the United States. Clearly MacVeagh is from an influential family, as noted by Eliot: "<I>I remember your cousin Rogers MacVeagh at Harvard, and I also knew Lincoln MacVeagh, the ambassador to Greece...</B></I>" Eliot skirts the issue of the aspiring poet's talent: "<I>I do not see what I could do about Mrs. Meekins' poetry unless, as I think extremely unlikely, I should feel compelled to recommend my firm to publish it here. I could however talk about it and recommend it to friends if I liked it, even though I did not think we should publish it. I must say, however, after a great many years of reading the verse of aspirants that it has been very rarely indeed that I have been moved to such enthusiasm.</B></I>" With a single staple at top left and holographic edits in Eliot's hand, the letter is in near fine condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
