Shaw, George Bernard Good association Autograph Note Signed "G. Bernard Shaw / 1st March 1929," three lines, at the foot of a 1-page 4to TLS from Sands Chipman of the Emerson Quarterly, published by the Emerson College of Oratory in Boston, MA. Chipman had written Shaw on February 15 about an excerpt he had seen from "a letter by you to Mr. Percival Wilde on the subject of Amateurs and Royalties. The royalties question is still a live issue in this country" and Chipman wished to add Shaw´s thoughts to the Quarterly´s article on the subject. Shaw responds, "I have no objection...But it would be uncivil to do so without Mr. Wilde´s permission. If you can get it you may go ahead..." Matted under glass with a (possibly printed) photograph of Shaw and conatined in a partly gilt wooden frame, overall size 16.5" x 19". VG.
