166 165 DOYLE, ARTHUR CONAN Autographed letter signed (“A Conan Doyle”), 2 pages, letterhead, Windlesham, Crowborough, Sussex, August 3 (1922). To [Dr. Allerton] Cushman, concerning spirit photography.

Doyle writes to Cushman concerning an ongoing investigation regarding William Hope’s “spirit” photographs. On February 24, 1922, Harry Price provided Hope with marked plates for his sitting, and the exposed plates Hope provided Price in return (one of which contained a spirit) did not bear the mark, thereby showing that Hope had switched the new plates with a doctored one. Price published his evidence against Hope in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research.

In The Case for Spirit Photography, Doyle, who believed that spirits and ghosts could contact the living through a psychic-medium such as photography, lays out a series of experiments supporting the authenticity of William Hope’s photographs. Doyle, and Hope’s other supporters, vehemently denied Price’s evidence, claiming an organized conspiracy against Hope. In the present letter, Doyle states: “The theory of the persecution is that the marked plate was left after abstraction, that Hope used them not knowing it was marked and that it is now a damning witness against him.”

Creased from the folds; some small pin holes; otherwise fine. $400-600

166 DOYLE, ARTHUR CONAN Single exposure “spirit” photograph, signed (“Arthur Conan Doyle”), printed caption at the bottom reading, “This photograph was taken with ONE exposure only.”

167 DOYLE, ARTHUR CONAN Single exposure “spirit” photograph, signed (“Arthur Conan Doyle”), printed caption at the bottom reading, “This photograph was taken with ONE exposure only.”

Doyle strongly supported the authenticity of “spirit” photographs, which were circulated by William Hope, and wrote a book pertaining to them entitled The Case for Spirit Photography, (1922). These photographs were later proven to be a hoax. 4 x 2 1/2 inches. $800-1,200

174 HEMINGWAY, ERNEST Autographed essay signed (“ernest Hemingway”), 1 page, n.d. (presumably Oak Park, c. 1913-1917, his high school years), in black ink, high school essay pertaining to the Catalinian Conspiracy, for which he received an “A” in red ink, on ruled watermarked paper.

Perhaps one of the earliest known unpublished essays of the celebrated author (Letters before 1917 are not included in Selected Letters, ed. C. Baker):

“The Catalinian Conspiracy was a plot by Cataline, a brave but unscrupulous roman, to overthrow the government of Rome and kill all his enemies. He raised a large [illeg.] force of disreputable citizens to accomplish this end and tried to get the Allobroges, a gallic tribe, into it. His plans were [illeg.] by Cicero the orator and leader of the senatorial party . . . Cataline was driven from the city and was killed in battle. His followers who remained were put to death by the order of Cicero. Caesar was suspected of being implicated in their plot and consequently his popularity suffered for a certain length of time.” Below the essay, Hemingway was asked to write a series of discussion points pertaining to the life of Caesar.

177 LEWIS, SINCLAIR A typed draft speech for a symposium on newspaper training signed (“Sinclair Lewis”), 2 pages, with handwritten corrections in ink, together with a typed letter signed (same) to an individual requesting his speech, Mr. Hills, 1 page, Harcourt, Brace, New York, September 3, 1925, with hand-written corrections and a hand-written post-script to the bottom, presumably to Lewis’ secretary, requesting that it be sent back for further editing.

From the present speech, Lewis actually disagrees with the theme of the symposium, specifically that newspaper-writing is a merit to future creative writing, a stance that reflects his own early experiences in the publishing world. “It is true that many of the most admirable creative writers have been journalists . . . [but] they might not have done quite as well, perhaps far better, had they not spent merely half an hour in chronicling the misadventure of Mrs. Eliza Stebbins, who bit her husband, but instead have known Mrs. Stebbins longer and more intimately, and thus more poignantly have realized the magnificent tragedy of that biting.”
