David Mason Fine and Rare Books
(SIGNED POSTCARD). BURGESS, Anthony.
Autograph postcard (4” x 5 ¾”), signed to Mr.
J.R. Nielson in Edmonds, Washington, no date (197-?). Postmarked Monaco. “…But
I will now confront that Cornish bastard with evidence of disaffection and
slander. I do not drink Löwenbrau and have not done so for years. A foul
libel…” Almost certainly referring to A.L. Rowse, whom Burgess despised. Card
depicts the Monte Carlo Casino. Corners bumped, faint dampstaining causing a
few letters to bleed. Near fine. Burgess spent the final years of his life in
Monaco, having settled there in 1976.
