BURGESS
(Anthony, 1917-1993, Writer and Composer, Author of 'A Clockwork Orange')
Typed letter signed on an air letter form to Mr John Sullivan
thanking him for his "kind words about my Malayan books, as also for the invitation to write something about GKC. Incidentally, I probably don't have to apologise for this delay in replying. Your letter has been following me .... I honestly don't think I'm in the position to write the sort of thing you want, though a good deal of it is in my head, especially the Chaucer and Dickens. This is a period of impending nervous breakdown through overwork, appropriate to my time of life, and I can't even control an electric typewriter ... I can of course suggest other people, real scholars, who would do the job well, but you've probably enough candidates ... I do genuinely regret my uselessness ...", 1 side oblong 4to., with original envelope, 10-D 670 West End Avenue, New York 10025, 8th October
