3 Page Letter from Castlerosse/Kenmare House.

880. Mosley, Leonard. Castlerosse. London. Barker Ltd. 1956. First. pp.192. Illustrated. G. in D.J. Loosely inserted is a large 3 page unpublished letter From Kenmare House, Killarney signed by Castlerosse dated 30/10/1941. Letter is partly typed, partly hand written. His Journalistic skills are apparent in this amusing, somewhat quixotic letter in which he speculates about his Elderly House Keeper's sex life, his beloved new golf course "All cranked up And going fine". "It is going to be a miracle". "We will make this Golf Club more splendid than Solomon's Ante Chamber & more understanding than
the liquid soft eyes of the Queen of Sheba, then we shall have done some thing which will make the angels rustle their wings with Joy". He goes on to invite the recipient to come and stay at Kenmare House. "You might find a couple of cinema "Tycoons" here from 20th Century Fox. Strangely enough, you would like them, but then don't rely on that. They invited themselves and cinema folk sometime keep women, but seldom dates, unless they happen to be Arabs". Particularly interesting in that his prophecy concerning his Golf Club was vindicated with Killarney's splendid course, now world famous. He died two years later in Sept. 1943 but obviously lived his life to the full, dedicated to excess and generosity. €250.
