Frost, Robert (1874-1963) American poet; winner of four Pulitzer prizes. Autograph Letter Signed, Key West, Florida, February 18, 1935, 2 pp (1 sheet), 8 x 6 in. To Irish-American poet and playwright Padraic Colum, written while Frost was professor of English at Amherst. In part: "…The last time we met was in Dublin….I remember your starting at a run to greet the new President of Ireland…but suddenly slowing down to a walk when half way there for fear of being mistaken in your intentions….One of my poetic boys…has taken it into his head to go to Dublin for his college graduate work. He looks on your home town as still the center of poetical excitement anyway. But I wonder if he isn't wrong. You are all scattered abroad. Three of you live much of your time in the United States. I don't know what to say to you for that…." Light edge toning, else fine.
