Auden closes by adding, "As a Trollope fan, I shall look forward to your edition of The New Zealander." Hall's edition of Trollope's The New Zealander appeared in 1972 (Oxford). On linen stationery, old adhesive marks showing through from verso. With original transmittal envelope addressed in holograph and signed above return address on the reverse.
