(Ferber, Edna) Doubleday, Nelson. Autograph Letter Signed ("Nelson") on Doubleday, Doran, and Company letterhead, Garden City, N.Y., November 13, 1931, 1 pg. 8½ x 5½ in. Publisher Nelson Doubleday writes to novelist Edna Ferber that he had sent a copy of her latest book, American Beauty, to Rudyard Kipling and that Kipling liked it very much. In part, "It was, and is, a great pleasure to me to see his enthusiasm for the book and your great ability. I only wish I could quote from the letter in our publicity and advertising but this cannot be. It would be an infringement on friendship. I have had the photostat made of the letter for you to tuck away among your treasures…." With a holograph note by Doubleday. Extremely Fine. The photostat of Kipling's flattering letter is concluded. In it, the British author states, "…I don't think her own people realize her value as a historical painter - yet. They will later." Nice content.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
