Autograph Letter Signed to Sylvia Lynd, poet and novelist.

ALS, on letterhead of Leinster Corner, Lancaster Gate, London; 20 September 1929, in envelope, 2pp., 8vo, docketed by MG, with note stating that the writer was 'married to Sir Edward Hilton Young, (who broke Olive Heseltine's heart years before & whose nephew, George, broke Sheila's heart in 1930. Kathleen Young made a bust of R. Lynd. It is now in Belfast (in the Linen Hall or possibly Queen's)'. In the letter Young thanks SL for the suggestion that she should write her autobiography: 'I believe I've got copy for no end of a thrilling book, seeing as how I've been to the greatest places & in the greatest fashions, & I've kept a diary full of gossip since 1910 - but I'm that busy still living my life, that I know I mustn't stop to write it.' Her husband 'has a book on birds in his head', but 'It would want a nice big bribe' to get him to write anything.
