[ Rosamond Lehmann, novelist. ] Autograph Letter Signed ('R.') to 'Dearest Geoffrey', regarding an unnamed woman's conviction that he is 'Pourponne'.

2pp., 8vo. On aged and worn paper. The letter begins: 'Dearest Geoffrey | She is quite convinced you were Pourponne! - says it was given to her before she saw your photographs - (about which she says some very gratifying things!) How does this strike you?!' The woman is 'hunting for a confirmatory portrait'. While Lehmann herself has 'only the haziest impression of Pourponne', she does know that 'they were mutually devoted' She exclaims: 'Oh do hurry up & start this book! And when might we go to Les Rochers?' She is going to Yoxford and it is an 'awful effort', although the 'delicious burst of Spring does help' She sends love to 'Glenn' and in a postscript reports the opinion of 'Clarise': 'From the younger yachtsman photographh one can postively hear the French accent!' Did she mean "pouponne" meaning infantile?
