Yeats (Georgie [Bertha] (a.k.a. George), 1892-1968). Wife of W.B. Yeats. An early autograph letter signed, 'Georgie Yeats', letterhead of Hotel Maryland, Pasadena, California, 3 April 1920, to Francie [Walton], mentioning W.B. Yeats twice and reminiscing about how she remembers her correspondent as 'bad boy of seven', 'Willy unfortunately got your letter too late. We were away in S[an] Francisco for two nights and he didnt get it til the day we left... We go to New Orleans on the 9th. Willy joins me in respects...', two rust marks and pin holes, one in blank area upper right, the second vertically through the 'a' of Yeats, some fold marks, one page, 8vo (Qty: 1) Yeats and his wife had set sail for North America on 13 January 1920 and remained there on a lecture tour for 18 weeks. The recipient of this letter is Lieutenant Commander Frances (sic) William Bernard Walton (1891-1921).
