The British writer who was awarded a CBE in 1982 penned this letter and her signature
Autograph Letter Signed: "R". 5½x7. Two pages. Features her letterhead from The Manor
House in Abingdon, Berkshire. Circa 1950. In Part: "I do want to know about your personal
life. I had written letters from Miss Mauford while I was in Ireland. She wanted to know what I
could for Robin these holidays". Rosamond Lehmann (1907-1989) was an English novelist
whose first book, Dusty Answer (1927), was a best seller, controversial at the time for its
open portrayal of gay and lesbian relationships at Cambridge, her alma mater. In all, she
wrote seven novels and a short story collection, translated two French works into English,
and authored some nonfiction, including an autobiography. Her only play, No More
Music, opened in 1939. Her novels The Weather in the Streets (1936) and The Echoing
Grove (1953) were made into movies, the latter re-titled Heart of Me (2002). Lehmann was a
member of the "Bloomsbury set," which included literature luminaries such as Virginia Woolf
and Lytton Strachey. Two movies, titled The Weather in the Streets (1983) and The Heart
of Me (2002), were produced from her works. She was honored with a CBE in 1982.
