Etat : Very good. - British playwright & novelist Charles Morgan's autograph penned in black ink on 2 inch high by 2-7/8 inch wide card stock. Dated "London Feb. 20, 1939" and signed "Charles Morgan". There is light offsetting to the card's right edge and to the verso. Very good. The British playwright and novelist Charles Langbridge Morgan (1894-1958) was born to English & Welsh parents. The relationship between "Art, Love, and Death" was the stated theme of his novels and plays. His work includes: "The Voyage", "The River Line", "Portrait in a Mirror", "A Breeze of Morning" and "The Judge's Story". Morgan was married to the Welsh novelist Hilda Vaughan.

8vo. Together 3 pp. With 1 autograph envelope. Both to his French publisher Maurice Delamain of Librairie Stock. In the earlier letter, Morgan shares information on a man named Paul Herpeux, possibly a translator or literary agent who had previously worked with Jacques Deval and René Rocher, wondering whether he "is acting for Rocher", even suggesting that Delamain call Herpeux under a pretense: "I am deeply grateful for your letter of 23rd. I will take the advice contained in it & communicate it to my English agent who is corresponding with Herpeux. Herpeux was asked what productions he has been responsible for. He replied that he dealt with The First Legion & Tovarich. Now, The First Legion is Rocher's play. This makes me wonder whether Herpeux is acting for Roger. Do you think it would be wise if you, acting on your sister-in-law's behalf, telephoned to Herpeux in a discreet attempt to find out who he is & whether he is acting for a Directeur? I suppose you ought not to mention Roger. [.] But I leave it to you to do what you think best [.]". - The second letter is to thank Delamain for news concerning the French publication of his novel "The Voyage" and favourable criticism thereof, apparently by Frédéric Lefèvre, expressing his sincere hope that the book "should succeed in France". - Well preserved.
