UK: na, 1923. 1st Edition 1st Printing. No Binding. Fine/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Handwritten (fountain pen) letter signed by Nobel prize winning poet Alfred Noyes on personal stationery, Nov. 21, 1923. The telephone number is angled at the left upper corner and original staple holes are parallel to that phone number, so I assume this note was stapled to other pages (probably the poems to be published). The note is a response to an editor (Deighton) agreeing to publish poems in an anthology. The note was folded once in the middle and once on the right edge. Some light penciled notes appear on the back. 5 x 7 inches.
