Autograph letter signed, 7 pages.

Valerie thanks Brooks for the “personal inscription”—Eliot’s, indicating this is the signed book that led to their initial acquaintanceship—that “thrilled” her “beyond measure.” She asks him to “exercise” “discretion” in forwarding along a note back to Eliot, should he think it fitting. She describes her enthusiasm at obtaining permission to see Eliot speak at a poetry reading at Wigmore Hall. In an appended fourth page, written the next day, she expresses regret at an ill Mrs. Brooks, asks where she might “buy a good photograph of T.S.E.,” and decides, after all, to not include her letter to Eliot.
