About This Item
On his printed letterhead, jassim house / 25 cuffe parade / colaba / bombay 5. Dated 19 . 12 . 1969. 8½ x 11", 1pp., circa 45 words. Brief but humourous reply to an American autograph seeker who has pulled out all the stops. "Dear friend, I do not usually give autographs, because I do not believe in the pesonality cult. However, since you are a professional autograph collector and a heart patient, I send you the enclosed cards duly signed by me and a photo of a non-photogenic face." Cards and photo no longer present. Letter signed in full. "Mulk Raj Anand, born December 12, 1905, Peshawar, India [now in Pakistan] died September 28, 2004, Pune. Prominent Indian author of novels, short stories, and critical essays in English, who is known for his realistic and sympathetic portrayal of the poor in India. He is considered a founder of the English-language Indian novel." (Encyclopedia Brittanica) Letter folded numerous times for mailing, corner creases, slight soiling, 1 cm tear at top, staple holes in corner, else good condition..
