Legendary writer and bookman whose popular books about books include "Born in a Bookshop" and "Bookman's Holiday"; among Sherlockians he is a giant, his many contributions to Doyle scholarship including "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" (1933). ANS, 1p, heavy stock buff 5½" X 3¼" penny postcard, n.p., n.y. [postal cancellation Chicago, IL, 15 April 1950]. Addressed to Ralph Newman (1912-98, founder of Chicago's noted Abraham Lincoln Book Shop). Near fine. Cordial note boldly penned in black ink concerning a gathering to honor Chicago journalist and Lincoln author Lloyd Lewis (1891-1949): "I'll say a few words at the luncheon with pleasure; but I can't speak at any length -- I didn't know Lloyd intimately enough to have anything to contribute beyond a brief statement of my admiration and friendship. Say about five minutes...." Boldly signed. Verso entirely addressed in Starrett's hand. Fine example.
