A double-typed letter signed by F. Scott Fitzgerald, written to actress Ina Claire in March 1929 from his residence at Ellerslie in Edgemoor, Delaware.

Composed on Fitzgerald’s personal “Ellerslie” letterhead, the letter reflects his lyrical wit and self-aware melancholy, describing the estate’s “ghosts of disappointed Civil War generals” and playfully inviting Claire to visit his “nubian guard of back-slappers.”

Notably, the typing shifts mid-letter from a faint to a bold font—a practical revision for clarity—and is signed boldly in ink in Fitzgerald’s hand.
