About This Item
ALAN PATON (1902-1988). A South African author, Paton is best remembered for Cry, the Beloved Country. He was an outspoken opponent of apartheid. TLS. 1pg. 8” x 10”. November 5, 1962. South Africa. A typed letter signed “Alan Paton” on blue air mail stationery. He wrote to Mrs. Peter Scott of West Orange, New Jersey: “Thank you for your letter of October 23. At the moment THE LAND & PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA is being revised, and I do not have a copy of the earlier edition. I have translations, but do not suppose you would want any of these. However, if you were to approach the publishers, J.B. Lippincott, 521 Fifth Avenue, New York 17, and ask them when the revised edition is likely to be out. I would be glad to autograph a copy for your fund raising effort, if the book were sent to me in time.” The Land & People of South Africa was published in 1955. The letter has a rough right edge and is in very good condition.
