Typed Letter Signed “F. Scott Fitzgerald” author of (Great Gatsby, This Side of Paradise, Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night, Flappers and Philosopher’s, etc.)
Typed Letter Signed ("F. Scott Fitzgerald"), 1 p, 4to, "La Paix," Towson, Maryland, July 18, 1933, to Lester Roberts of New York City, folded in sixths, with some toning and mild wrinkling in lower quarter. Matted and framed. "SORRY. HAVEN'T HAD A PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN FOR FIVE YEARS." Apparently in response to a fan letter, Fitzgerald thanks one Lester Roberts for writing and apologizes for not having responded sooner: "My excuse for the long delay in answering is that a pile of letters were side tracked into an answered file just before I moved from one house to another." Fitzgerald semi-facetiously declines Roberts' request for a photograph of him: "Sorry. Haven't had a photograph taken for five years. Again thank you for the interest that inspired your letter." This letter was sent from "La Paix," the Baltimore-area estate near the Phipps Clinic at Johns Hopkins where Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda, was famously hospitalized for schizophrenia. At the time Fitzgerald was completing Tender is the Night (published in 1934), his long-awaited follow-up novel to The Great Gatsby. Animal Farm
