Item Details

Description

Shaw George George Bernard Shaw on Publisher "Hearst is my Best Customer"
Postcard autograph letter signed, 4.5" x 3.5", on card stock. Dated "March 26, 1923". Penned in black ink in the hand of George Bernard Shaw, who signed the letter as "G.B.S." . Written to "H.C. Duffin" (Henry Charles Duffin), as shown in the address to the front of the postcard. Duffin wrote the book published in 1920 called "The quintessence of Bernard Shaw", thus this letter having a lovely association. Near fine with a thin laminate to the front which could likely be removed.

Letter shown in part below:
"Hearst is my best customer; and I am glad you got the benefit of his appetite for my stuff this time. By all means repeat the (illegible) if you can over here; but British prices are about 90% lower.
I have been away a good deal, and am just starting for a tour that will last six weeks. It was this uncertainty in my...that made it impossible for me to answer your last letter definitively when it arrived ; and with me the letter that is answerable within five minutes is lost. Better luck later on, perhaps.
G.B.S."
George Bernard Shaw, known at his insistence simply as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond.
