Two Typed Letters Signed (TLS) by T. S. Eliot
Located in Middletown, NY
Two one-page letters on Faber & Faber stationery, SIGNED by T. S. Eliot. The first, dated 1 December 1949 is double sided, 10 1/4 x 8 inches (266 x 204 mm) in envelope 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches (110 x 133 mm). The second is dated 23 August 1950, one sided, 8 x 6 7.8 inches (204 x 174 mm) in envelope 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches (110 x 133 mm). Typed in black and red ink, central vertical and horizontal folds, with no sign of wear. The accompanying envelopes show minor signs of wear and the back flap of the first envelope is partially torn. Fine.
These two typewritten letters were addressed to Robert Cecil Bald (1901 – 1965), an Australian scholar of English Literature, who taught at Cornell University starting in 1937 and then at the University of Chicago from 1952 to 1965. They attest to a cordial exchange between a poet and a scholar, and the rich network of contacts that Eliot had both as an author and as the long-time editorial director at Faber & Faber in London (1925-1965).
In the first letter, dated 1 December 1949 with a Cornell University address, Eliot declines an offer...

Albert Einstein Typed and Signed Letter with Certificate of Authenticity
Located in Jersey, GB
An Albert Einstein typed & signed letter, dated June 10, 1939.
Fresh to the market after 84 years in the ownership of the original recipient's family.
In 1939, on the eve of WWII, Einstein became involved in national campaigns to raise money and awareness for Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany for the U.S.
On June 10, 1939 he personally sent letters to several Jewish civic leaders, thanking each of them for their contributions to the cause.
This example was sent to the prominent New York businessman Mr Nathan Leavy.
It's typed on a single sheet of Einstein's personal stationary, embossed with his address at Princeton University.
The letter measures 8.5'' x 11'' and is presented in very good condition, with just faint horizontal mailing folds and minor creasing.
The content of this letter is a profound, personal statement on Albert Einstein's personal Jewish heritage.
The text is based almost word-for-word on a radio address he gave on March 22 on behalf of the United Jewish Appeal.
The letter reads in full:
"My Dear Mr Leavy:
"May I offer my sincere congratulations to you on the spledid work you have undertaken on behalf of the refugees during dedication week.
''The power of resistance which has enabled the Jewish people to survive for thousands of years has been based to a large extent on traditions of mutual helpfulness. In these years of affliction our readiness to help one another is being put to an especially severe test. May we stand this test as well as did our fathers before us.
"We have no other means of self-defense than our solidarity and our knowledge that the cause for which we are suffering is a momentous and sacred cause.
"It must be a source of deep gratification to you to be making so important a contribution toward rescuing our persecuted fellow-Jews from their calamitous peril and leading them toward a better future."
"Sincerely yours, Albert Einstein."
Einstein signs...
