Bacall (Lauren) Autograph letter signed ("Lauren Bacall Bogart") to Leonard Bernstein

The letter reads "Didn't know whether or not you received my cable. It was most presumptuous of me but Evie Backer assured me you would not mind. She incidentally sends her best to you and wants you to hurry back to America. I did so enjoy our evening together at Arthur Schlesinger's home. And I have dined out many a time on your Berlin, Churchill, Berlin story. Giving you full credit incidentally. I only spent 24 hours in London but I was in hopes that perhaps I could at least say hello to you. We will be here until the middle of March and will return to London for a week the beginning of April. I fear you will be in New York by then. Perhaps we can see you on our way through to California. I hope so. I would so like to see you again and have you meet my husband. I sincerely hope you didn't mind my taking the liberty of writing this note", two pages, regular horizontal staining due to the letter being previously mounted onto an adhesive page, handling wear and creasing, 4to, Hotel Excelsior, Rome, 30 January, n.y.
