Elaine Steinbeck autograph letter signed from Discove Cottage in Bruton, Somerset, England where her husband, John Steinbeck, was writing ''The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights''. Mrs. Steinbeck writes to John's typist Mary Morgan in an Air Mail letter postmarked 1959. In small part, ''...The cottage is filled with charm & character & ghosts - in fact its got everything except TV & central heating and all those necessities one really doesn't need! The floors are stone-flagging, the walls are feet thick...John has made himself a nest in one of the pretty little up-stairs bedrooms, & from the look of it, you'd think he'd been working there since the Norman Conquest. He says he's never been so content...'' Letter measures approximately 9.5'' x 7.75'' unfolded. Very good condition.
