BETJEMAN JOHN: (1906-1984) English Poet Laureate 1972-84. T.L.S., John Betjeman, one page, oblong 8vo, Cloth Fair, London, 11th April 1963, to Michael Harrison. Betjeman states that it was kind of his correspondent to remember to send them their life of Rosa, and continues to remark 'What a wholly unexpected story it is and how well worth telling. I wish I had known her better. Your book helps me to do so. It is a pity she died before it was finished, for the story is something she must have been proud of'. Accompanied by the original envelope. VG

In 1962 Harrison published Rosa - Rosa Lewis of the Cavendish, a biography of Rosa Lewis (1867-1952) English cook and owner of The Cavendish Hotel in London.
