TNS, 1p, 6¼" X 7 3/4", San Francisco, CA, n.y. November 6. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar). Fine. Chats cordially with an admirer and plugs her latest book: "Many thanks for your birthday wishes and for what you say about GOLDEN PEACOCK. I am delighted that you enjoyed that little book as I had fun writing it. I did so at the request of the LAtinists of the University of California, as a contribution to the Horace Bimillennium. I hope you will like my new novel, THE HOUSE OF LEE." Large and bold signature in black ink. Undated, but given the "House of Lee" reference likely 1940.
