Excellent content T.L.S. 4to 1 page personal letterhead New York City July 4th 1986 to socialite Brooke Astor about her just published book.The letter reads in part: ".The Last Blossom on the Plum Tree is a great delight. I was astonished at its technical virtuosity; its recovery of a period style and the flow of its ingenious narrative. You like your invented character are surely a connoisseur of the heart; it's not cynical but it's worldly in the best sense not mondain; but wise. You ought to write a sequel immediately. 1928 is gone; now dawns 1929: think of what happened to all of them in the Wall Street catastrophe; think of how each will behave. How some survive some are redeemed and some are damned. You have an extraordinary gift for portraying an OTHER; not a mirror image of your idiosyncratic self." "I am sending you a very good book about the 1929 crash. I am sure there are many more which you can find in the library but you won%u2019t need much research. You have already your cast of characters; you can choreograph their almost inevitable behavior; I can't wait to see how it all turns out." Fine condition.<br/><br/> American writer art connoisseur philanthropist noted especially as co-founder of the New York City Ballet.<br/><br/> unknown books
