Item description from seller

Bridge House, Holt, N Bath, August, 1961., 1961. Fine. - Over 65 words penned on both sides of his 8 inch high by 5 inch wide stationery. Writing to "Dear Mr. Saltford", the writer and critic Thomas Cuthbert Worsley apologizes for the confusion due to a misspelling "Oh dear! That intrusive 't'! It slipped in, I guess, because I often pass through the Saltford just between Bath & Bristol, on the Avon, I think it is. "Miss Delaney's play is of course about Salford an industrial town - Lancashire. Sorry to have misled you." Signed "Thomas". Folded for mailing with a date stamped at the top, else fine. The English schoolmaster, writer and theater & television critic Thomas Cuthbert Worsley (1907-1977) was often a companion of Terrence Rattigan. He is best known for his autobiographical novel "Flannelled Fool: A Slice of Life in the Thirties". He went to Spain with Stephen Spender during the Spanish Civil War which inspired his novel "Fellow Travellers" about a the lives and relationships of a group of individuals during the Civil War. The novel explored gay relationships and the role of homosexuals in fighting the fascists without the need for justification. Worsley later worked for the left-wing periodical the New Statesman as an assistant to the literary editor and drama critic Raymond Mortimer and subsequently worked as the theatre and television critic for the Financial Times.
