Description: Indre-et-Loire [France], 17 July 1930. Letter. A two-page letter on both sides of Le Plessis stationery (5-7/8" x 4-3/4") SIGNED "Gene" to bookseller Terence Holliday. In full: "I've been meaning for a week or more to thank you for the razor. It is a peach and I am most grateful. I will think of you whenever I shave -- and, as long as I don't cut myself, what could be fairer? And the billiard book! It seems to be just the thing. I am going to give some intensive study to it next fall and winter and when you come next summer maybe I'll know why I make some of the shots -- when I make them! We have been having a [?] run on visitors since July dawned -- including a loathsome lady lecturer from Hartford, Conn. who arrived one day without invitation, found her way in, and gave it out cold and clammy she had come to visit because she 'did me such a lot of good' by her talks! Carlotta had almost to call the gendarmes to persuade this dame she wasn't welcome. A rare bird! (I was upstairs working)." Accompanied by an envelope addressed and SIGNED in full by O'Neill. Envelope with closed tear that extends through O'Neill's signature and return address, otherwise Fine .
