Copenhagen, 10.8.1943. Folio (295 x 205 mm). Original typewritten letter, single leaf, 10 lines. Adressed ""Sehr verehrte Frau Baronin"", Signed ""W. Best"" lines. Horizontal fold, otherwise fine and clean. 1 ff.
Original signed typewritten letter from Werner Best, SS-Obergruppenführer, Nazi Party official and head of Department I of the Gestapo, here acting as the civilian administrator of occupied Denmark, to the Danish author Karen Blixen, giving her permission to forward American and English reviews of her recently published ""Winter’s Tales"" to Sweden.Werner Best - the highest civilian authority during the occupation of Denmark - oversaw censorship and permissions concerning publications and foreign press material. Much have been said about Blixen and Hitler, and Nazi-Germany in general, and the present letter does not not nessecarily confirm any close ties, but direct correspondence between Werner Best and Karen Blixen indicates that her case was handled at the very highest administrative level, not just routine bureaucracy, of the German occupation. Not every author would have matters handled at Best’s level.

Dated ""20.8.43"". 2 pages 8vo. Written on blue paper w. the letterhead ""Wedellsborg/ Ejby."" The letter is a polite refusal to an invitation to give a lecture. It translates as thus: ""I am very sorry/ that that you have not/ received an answer to your letter/ sooner. For about a month/ I have been travelling around Funen, and/ I have been staying numerous/ places, and unfortunately I have not/ received your letter, there/ has possibly been an incorrect re-addressing and thereby delay./ I am sorry that I can/ not accept your/ kind request to/ give a lecture at your place. -/ In the fall I will/ have so much to do that I can/ not accept any more/ engagements. -/ Kind regards/ Yours sincerely/ Karen Blixen-Finecke.""
The legendary Danish writer, Karen Blixen-Finecke (pseudonym: Isak Dinesen) (1885-1962), was a Danish baroness, who married her cousin, the Swedish Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, in 1914. They soon moved to Africa, where they ran a coffee-farm near Nairobi, and the happiest years of Blixen's life were spent here (she used to say that ""Africa made me""). The farm in the Ngong Hills is the centre of her world famous novel, ""Out of Africa"". She divorced her husband, who was cheating on her and gave her syphilis, in 1922, and in 1932 she moved back to Denmark after the farm had gone bankrupt and her lover, Denys Finch-Hatton, had died in a plane-crash. She spent the remaining 30 years of her life in Denmark, and died a legendary writer. She greatly influenced writers and cultural personas of the generations to come, and many authors recognize the direct impact she has had on their writings. Several of her novels have been filmatized, most famously ""out of Africa"" with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize twice, she was elected honorary member of ""The American Academy of Arts and Letters"" (1957), and her portrait is printed on the Danish 50 kr. notes. She is the absolutely most famous of all modern Danish writers, and the only one of international fame.
