LAWRENCE D.H.: (1885-1930) English Writer. A good A.L.S., D. H. Lawrence, one page, Hotel Beau Rivag
‘I'll see you get your copy of Lady C.’
LAWRENCE D.H.: (1885-1930) English Writer. A good A.L.S., D. H. Lawrence, one page, Hotel Beau Rivage, Bandol, France, 28th November 1928, to Miss. Watson. Lawrence forwards his correspondent the Swedish agreement (no longer present) and enquires 'Have you made up a new agreement with Kippenberg, or aren't we signing one?'. The author further states 'Now Orioli is ill, and I hope it hasn't developed seriously - if it has I shall have to go to Florence' and concludes 'But don't worry, I'll see you get your copy of Lady C. - even if there is a bit of delay'. Autograph letters by Lawrence referring to one of his most famous, and controversial, works, Lady Chatterley's Lover, are rare and desirable. Very slightly irregularly cut to the upper edge and with some light, extremely minor age wear, VG Giuseppe 'Pino' Orioli (1884-1942) Florentine bookseller, best known for privately publishing the unexpurgated first edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover, of which around 1000 copies were released in July 1928. The Swedish agreement to which Lawrence refers is in connection with The Woman who Rode Away and Other Stories which was published by Martin Secker in 1928.
