Autograph Letter Signed ('H. J. Laski') to 'Grinling'.

Author: 
H. J. Laski [Harold Joseph Laski] (1893-1950), English political theorist [Charles Herbert Grinling?]

£28.00

12mo, 1 p. Written in Laski's distinctive close hand. Fair, on aged paper, with a little spotting and two tiny pinholes in top left-hand corner. He has enjoyed reading Grinling's pamphlet (possibly 'Fifty Years of Pioneer Work in Woolwich') but, as 'Memory is by definition a traitor', Grinling's 'name doesn't "place" itself' for Laski. 'But you will possibly care one day to come and remind me; at any rate you will be sure of a welcome.'
