MASEFIELD JOHN: (1878-1967)

MASEFIELD JOHN: (1878-1967) English writer and poet who was Poet Laureate 1930-67. A.L.S., John Masefield, one page, 8vo (folding letter card), Greenwich, 9th June 1907, to Max Meyerfeld. Masefield thanks his correspondent for their letter and continues ´I fear that I cannot conveniently come to you earlier tomorrow, so let us cancel the engagement´, further suggesting that another day later in the week, perhaps Thursday, would be possible, ´or let me know, by letter, the points about which you wish to see me. The latter course would suit me the better, as I have much work on hand, & find it difficult to make appointments´. Hand addressed by Masefield to the verso and with some light traces of former mounting. About VG Max Meyerfeld (1875-1940) German journalist and translator, the first translator of Oscar Wilde´s works into German.
