Item description from seller

One Autograph Letter Signed/two Typed Letters Signed from the eminent otolaryngologist/ear surgeon/lecturer/teacher, Dr. Joseph Vincent De Sa, MS, DLO (Lond.), FACS (1915-1989), to Brian [Victor de Savoie-Carignan] de Soissons (1929-2009; son of the reknowned architect, Louis de Soissons). Both Typed Letters Signed are typed to recto, with clear signature ('Joe') in blue ink. TLS I (addressed to de Soissons at Kensington Park Road, London): on headed paper (printed with 'Dr. Joe V. De Sa [etc.]' and the address of De Sa's Hospital, 15 Dadyseth Road, Chowpatty, Bombay), dated 21st. Oct., 1967, and in which he states, '.Toad.did not mention the episode which has, unfortunately, arisen.I know that for the purchase of a car, he had transferred some money to Bombay.' ALS (original aerogramme, pre-printed with stamp, and addressed (in green ink) to de Soissons at Kensington Park Rd., London), dated 22nd March, [19]68, in which De Sa says he is 'disturbed to learn that our mutual friend the Toad has still not settled his dues.Yet.he has now.returned to Australia and is at the St. Vincents Hospital in Melbourne.' (written in green ink; signed 'J.V. De Sa'; paper chipped at edges, and heavily creased, but bright/quite clean; handwriting a little difficult to read, bot not illegible). TLS II (addressed to de Soissons at Ladbroke Gardens, London): on headed paper (printed with 'Otolaryngology Clinic' and the names, etc., of Dr. Joe De Sa/Mrs. Nancy De Sa/Dr. (Miss) S. De Sa, and the address of De Sa's Hospital, 15 Dadyseth Road, Bombay-7), dated 7th Oct., 1969, and in which he states, 'I.was shocked to learn that the hole in your bank account is still not filled. It is indeed surprising.that the Toad has gone into hybernation [sic].as he also owed me a large amount.' Both Typed Letters Signed are on fragile, lightweight paper - heavily creased, and with small chips/tears to edges - but paper clean/bright, text quite fresh. Lightweight item, hence overseas customers will have SHIPPING CHARGES REDUCED subsequent to ordering. Letters in Good condition overall. PRICE (for the three letters) INCLUDES UK POSTAGE & PACKING. Size: Approx. 290mm x 275mm/188mm x 247mm.
