BROOKE, RUPERT Autograph letter signed ("Rupert"), 4 pp. (2 separate leaves written both sides) addressed to "Harold," without question Harold Edward Monro of The Poetry Review, written "in the train" and dated July 24 (near Toronto, Canada). 11 x 8 1/4 inches (28 x 21 cm), approximately 80 lines on the letterhead of the King Edward Hotel in Toronto. Minor soiling and wear. A superb letter by Brooke on the reception of his work in America (mentioning the piracy of Georgian Poetry by [Mitchell] Kennerly, who did not hold the American copyright). He encourages Monro to distribute the Review in Canada, and provides names of journals etc. to which copies should be sent for review. An amusing note is sounded by his comment "My latest intelligence is that Bryn Mawr, the leading American Girls' College, is wild about Georgian Poetry." Provenance: In a folder from the Phoenix Book Shop, 41 East 48th Street, New York, probably 1930s. C Estate of Ann Thayer
