GREENE, GRAHAM. Typed Letter Signed. One sheet, recto only (190 x 145 mm), paper clip indentation at top and bottom blank margins, to bookman David Low on Greene's Antibes stationery. In part: "I am at the moment amusing myself with a book of moral theology by a German and published in America where coitus interruptus comes under the sign of Onan. Withdrawal is condemned unless a third person appears on the scene! I picture the arrangement made by the husband and wife and the butler that at a certain point he should arrive and knock on the door. It's going to be of great use to me I think if I ever continue Monsignor Quixote." Framed with a publicity photo of Greene. 29 May 1980
