Letters of Note

Ran across this interesting site called Letters of Note:

Quote:
Letters of Note is an attempt to gather and sort fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos. Scans/photos where possible. Fakes will be sneered at. Updated as often as possible; usually each weekday.
Among the many letters they post are those from famous authors. Here's one dated 21 Oct 1949 from Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) to George Orwell in reference to Orwell's recently published book, Nineteen Eighty-Four:

Quote:
Dear Mr. Orwell,

It was very kind of you to tell your publishers to send me a copy of your book. It arrived as I was in the midst of a piece of work that required much reading and consulting of references; and since poor sight makes it necessary for me to ration my reading, I had to wait a long time before being able to embark on Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Agreeing with all that the critics have written of it, I need not tell you, yet once more, how fine and how profoundly important the book is. May I speak instead of the thing with which the book deals — the ultimate revolution?...
Full letter found here.
