SHAW, GEORGE BERNARD. (1856-1950). Irish-born writer and dramatist. Autograph Letter Signed, “G.B.S.,” in pencil, on his 10 Adelphi Terrace, W.C.2. stationery. Two pages, oblong octavo. London, June 10, 1927. Very fine condition. To “My dear Dorothea.” Shaw writes:

“I was much shocked by your unfaithfulness, but rejoice in your happiness. I have not been at the F.S.S. for some years, and see no chance of my going there next time, as I must get away to Italy or somewhere in July; for I’m almost worked to a standstill, and yet must finish my long book on Socialism and get moved from this house to another (a fearful convulsion at my age) within the next seven weeks or so. Where does one get lactic oats? I am up against a case of cancer said to be incurable and (fortunately) insufferable; and am at my wits’ end for quackeries to amuse the patient — the wife of a friend. Ever, G.B.S.”
