Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Hancox, saying "I normally destroy all my work sheets & note books, which may give the one I send some scarcity-value, if no other. It contains the preliminary drafts of nearly all the poems which appear in my new book, Pegasus ... & two of the pastiche poems ... in An Italian Visit", adding that "The whole thing seems to me quite illegible; but if you can find some University or other customer of temeritie [?] enough to buy it, I'd be delighted for you to do so", 2 sides 8vo., Chatto and Windus Ltd., as from 96 Campden Hill Road, W.8., 19th June
