Dylan Thomas love letter sold

A PASSIONATE love letter from poet Dylan Thomas to his then fiancee Caitlin Macnamara sold for more than €10,000 at auction yesterday.

The two-page hand-written note is signed with seven kisses and a postscript from the heavy drinker which reads “I have to be abstemious.”

The letter was the last written by Thomas to Caitlin before they were married on July 11, 1937.
