HALL (Radclyffe). Autograph letter signed.

37 Holland Street, Kensington W.8., 28 June 1926.
 
Single sheet, folded once (unfolded approx. 190 × 290 mm), written on both sides in dark blue ink. Old horizontal fold, light handling marks, and areas of mounting residue on the reverse where once tipped into an album; otherwise clean and well-preserved.
 
A letter from Radclyffe Hall, showing her active engagement with literary and social circles in Kensington. She thanks the recipient for her letter, apologises for the delay in replying owing to having been away from home, and expresses her pleasure at being invited to speak at the Ladies’ Circle. Hall offers Monday 18 October at 6.45 as a suitable date and hopes this will be convenient, adding that she would be glad to give the group “some idea as to how I evolved Adam’s Breed”.
 
The reference to Adam’s Breed is significant: the novel, published that year, had just won both the Prix Femina and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, establishing Hall as a major literary figure on the eve of the Well of Loneliness obscenity trial. Letters from this period, are uncommon.
