Journalist's secondhand copy of Rebecca West book held a 1930s telegram

A writer bought a used Penguin paperback of Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon at a Georgetown library book sale and found a decades-old telegram tucked inside it, signed by West under her real name, Cicily Andrews. The telegram, arranging a lunch, was addressed to Ann Cottrell Free, the first female Washington correspondent for Newsweek and the book's previous owner, who died in 2004.
