[Albany, New York: The Argus Press], (1944).

Price: $1,500.00

Softcover. First separate edition. Stapled illustrated wrappers. 5, [4]pp. A slight bend on the front wrap, else near fine. In original mailing envelope. Reprinting of a Christmas wish that first appeared in *Good Housekeeping* in December, 1943, issued as a Christmas greeting. No printed publication information, but hand signed on the last leaf "Bruce Hutchison, The Argus Press, Albany, New York." Envelope addressed to P.K. Thomajan (like Saroyan, an Armenian-American), a designer known for his finely printed annual Christmas greetings. A rarity, and possibly unique.
