Typed letter from Philip Larkin to Jon Stallworthy, signed “Philip”.
 
Written on Larkin’s personalised Brynmor Jones Library headed paper, it is a brief letter congratulating Stallworthy on “bagging [W.D.] Snodgrass” (for the OUP poetry list) and looking forward to working with him on Board of Management of the Poetry Book Society. In fine condition, folded twice for posting.
 
PROVENANCE: From the library of Jon Stallworthy (1935-2014).
