Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Steinbeck, John
Title: Autograph postcard
Place Published: New York
Publisher:
Date Published: Oct. 28, 1955
Description:

Autograph note on Steinbeck's personal postcard with 72nd Street, New York address. Not addressed on reverse, delivered by hand presumably with a birthday bottle of Dom Perignon Wine. Initial J.S. at the close.

Reads in full: "Dear Florence: No so long ago in a place called Epernay, a restless priest added a surcharge to the pressing of the Pinot grape which is a restless grape, and the ensuing miracle is still with us. With the gift of Dom Perignon even the dull are able to confess interesting sins, which is another way of saying that they have found gold in their leaden lives. Much, much earlier in our world a boy poured a dossage into a restless girl - from this ferment came an even greater miracle. Let us never deny miracles. J.S." On the reverse side is "Happy Birthday Florentia" in Steinbeck's hand.

Condition

Creased at center, light wear at edges; very good.
