William Butler Yeats Signed Note to Fan

Immensely influential symbolist poet William Butler Yeats signed note to fan. Undated, note reads in full: ''Dear Madam / above is the autograph you wrote to me for on May 9 / Yrs. / W.B. Yeats / 4 Brown St. / Oxford''. The original owner likely separated the second autograph as the top of the page is unevenly trimmed. Yeats won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923 and continues to be read and taught across the globe. Note measures 7'' x 4.25''. Vertical fold and minor creasing, in overall very good condition.
