Typed Letter, signed ("Sheilah"), with a few handwritten additions. To her newly-wed husband, Trevor Westbrook, in England. 3 pages, Two 11x8½", the third 5½x8½".

British-born Sheilah Graham, one of the most influential gossip columnists in Hollywood, is remembered today as the last lover of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, their three-year relationship (described in her book Beloved Infidel) beginning while he was still married to his wife Zelda, who was institutionalized in an asylum. Graham remained with Fitzgerald until the day he died of a heart attack in December 1940. She then returned as a war correspondent to her native England, where she met fighter plane manufacturer Trevor Westbrook, whom she married in January 1942, weeks after the US entered World War II. When, four months later, she wrote this letter from New York to her new husband in London, she was pregnant - and explained at length why her New York Doctors "did not think it wise (to put it mildly) for me to make the trip back to England now, or at any time during the next months". Rejecting the insistence of Westbrook and his "interfering" mother that she should come back to England during her pregnancy, Sheilah Graham was still in United States in September when she gave birth in Hollywood to a baby girl. Not until after her mother's death in 1988 did her grown daughter discover (and reveal in a published memoir) that her biological father was not Westbrook, but British philosopher A.J. Ayer, with whom her mother had a brief affair just before her marriage - and exactly one year after the death of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the true love of her life.
