Description:
West Park, NY, 15 November [1915]. Letter. Creases from mailing; slight fading of ink at the end. Near Fine. A two-page handwritten letter to drama critic and author William Winters on one side of two sheets of 5-1/2" x 8-1/4" "Riverby" stationery, SIGNED in full by Burroughs at the conclusion. In full: "I have had one letter from you during my long life, but you have had none from me. So I am writing you a line to tell you how much I enjoyed those days with you at the Rowlands. Like all good fruit-- you have grown sweeter as you have grown riper, & I am sure that, unlike some fruit-- you will always be sound at heart. I regret that we did not meet earlier in our lives. Much of your literary output is outside of the field of my interests, which is a narrow one, but I know your English books well & have enjoyed them. It was a delight to hear you recall the old 'Saturday Press' days & the generation of writers to which we both belong. When men reach our age they begin to enjoy the leisure of the… Read More

Description:
New York, March 1908. Letter. Folds from mailing, still about Fine, with envelope. A three-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED as "Pearl" (Grey was born Pearl Zane Gray) to his wife "Dolly" on three sheets of illustrated New Grand Hotel stationery with envelope postmarked March 1908. Grey discusses his rotten position: "I'm afraid I can't have Outing publish my book until everybody's got good and ready to let me.... And I, like an idiot signed that paper, which legally gives them the right to my photographs. Why didn't you or Murphy see that? If they don't choose to use the story & pictures I can't get the book published at all. It's most damnably sickening. I don't know what to do.... For a measly little hundred dollars I have about queered my chances.... Murphy says it will work out allright [sic]. I hope so, but tonight I can't see anything but black. Will be on the mountain tomorrow." Zane Grey decided to become a writer just five years before this letter when he wrote a fishing story that appeared in… Read More

Long Key, FL, 29 Jan. 1912. Letter. Folds from mailing, still about Fine, with envelope. A one-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED as "Doc" to his wife "Dolly" with fine content on Florida East Coast Hotel Co./Long Key Fishing Camp stationery with envelope. In full: "It sure is hunting my forgotten birthday! Let's see. I'll be 38. Gee! I feel old. But maybe its this damned languorous climate. I've been eating too much, also. There isn't any news. The sun shines, the winds blow, and time flies. I'll be home soon again. I have not been fishing yet. This matter of work begins to drag on me. If I don't work I'm unhappy. Yesterday I wrote some of the scenario of the play. I've somehow lost confidence since I read that play book. But things will come to a head soon. I'm glad for this past week. I seem to be my old self again. Aren't you glad? I'd appreciate a letter from you occasionally. You'll be mad when you see that all this fat [?] letter is not a love letter to you. With love to all, Doc." Superb letter… Read More

Roseburg, OR, 25 June 1935. Letter. Folds from mailing, still about Fine, with envelope. A fine two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED as "Dad" to his son Romer on colorful Zane Grey Camp stationery with envelope. In part: "I've been gone 10 days, and have received only one wire from home. No letters! Pyramid Lake was the bunk. It's all right for big shots who are dumb, but not for me. There were some peachy divorcees there.... We trolled for hours - for nothing.... You should always be sure of your ground before you steer anyone up against anything.... We are here in camp, and it's lovely.... No fish yet. The river is about 18 inches high, and sure is hell. There are a few steelhead coming up, so we hear. But I haven't seen any.... By July 15 fishing should be good."

Description:
Paris, 1 August 1895. Framed Letter. About Fine and a handsome presentation. One-page SIGNED handwritten letter in French on 4-1/2" x 6-3/4" sheet to an unnamed politician regarding placement of an article about his book in REVUE ENCYCLOPÉDIQUE. Roughly translated: "I received your check for 4 guineas today and I thank you. The article on your book is at the REVUE ENCYCLOPÉDIQUE, a very important magazine which comes out about the 15th. As soon as the magazine will be printed, I'll send it to you myself. Let me congratulate you on your electoral victory although I take hardly any interest in politics." Matted and framed along with a reproduced image of Georges Rouault’s portrait of Verlaine. Associated with the Symbolist and Decadent movements, Verlaine's poetry was admired and recognized as ground-breaking, serving as a source of inspiration to composers including Gabriel Fauré and Claude Debussy. He died in 1896 at the age of 51 after being ravaged by drug dependence and alcoholism.
