BERLIN (Sir Isaiah, 1909-1997, Russian British Political Theorist, Philosopher and Historian)

Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Ava, Viscountess Waverley, (1896-1974, wife of Sir John Anderson, Viscount Waverley) saying that he “could do nothing; if I had absented myself on the true ground that I had promised to come to lunch with you (I have never had a meal given ‘for’ me in my life; & hope I never shall) it would have upset the delicate & tenuous academic-benefactor texture too deeply; and have done damage to my future colleagues... was more than I could face, for the sake of personal private life. I was certainly as profoundly frustrated & upset as you could possibly have been... I shall have to give up the old beautiful freedoms - oh dear! I hope your guests were - I am sure they were - perfectly happy; Fred W. kept them all in a good humour, they basked in the light of your - ultimately - irreproachable personality & all was well. I wish it were not true; I have needlessly complicated my life, mutinous whispers already reach my over carefully attuned ears - pity me...”, 2 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, ‘As from Heddington’, 5th July
