Unbound. Typed Letter Signed. One page on Faber and Faber letterhead, dated December 5th, 1955 to Graham Greene. Light folds from mailing. A brief letter to Graham Greene, responding favorably to Greene's request to inscribe a copy of *Murder in the Cathedral* for some students who were undertaking a production of the play. In an intriguing passage, after offering to provide the book and the inscription, Eliot writes, in what might be considered either a serious or a puckish allusion, "...but can you first assure me that sending them such an inscribed copy, or even a copy merely signed by my name, would not be prejudicial to their interests? I should not like to get anybody into further trouble because of association with me personally." A nice association, despite Eliot's protestations, between two important authors.
