21 Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan (1859-1930) Autograph Letter Signed, London, 18 January 1910.

Three inscribed pages on folded Piccadilly Hotel stationery. To an American theatre manager concerning the running of his play “The House of Temperley.” Folds, a few light spots, 7 x 4 1/2 in. folded.

“My dear Sir, I am grieved to think that for the second time you have had ill luck in running one of my plays. It is always a consolation to my mind in putting on my own plays--as I have twice done here--that no one can suffer but myself. I am very sorry indeed that you in America should be the loser.

If “Temperley” should be a success there it will diminish any pleasure that it should not be in your hands to partly compensate you for the failures. It is playing here to steadily increasing business, and will do well here, I believe, but there is an English atmosphere to it which might be against it over there. Faversham has bought the rights but he will find no star part in it, which he may not like.

I cabled you today about [Cyril] Maude because I am so anxious to retain him if possible. He is not--between ourselves-much of an actor, so that I cannot think his absence would affect a play much, but he is excellent in the boxing, and for that reason has a special value in my play. I am sure you will do what you can, and if you hold on to him I will understand that you have some good reason. As it is two of my valued cast, Gwenn and Heggie, have [...] to the Duke of York.

That is a calamity but Maude is more vital than any of them. With all kind regards, Yours very sincerely, Arthur Conan Doyle.” $1,000-1,200 22 Duncan, Isadora (1877-1927) Signed Photograph.

44 Kerouac, Jack (1922-1969) Typed Letter, with Manuscript Additions, [18 February 1940.]

Two sheets, single-spaced typing on all four sides. To George J. Apostolos, written from Kerouac’s time at the Horace Mann School in New York, with descriptions of a recent blizzard, and social exploits; with additions in pencil at head, foot, and intertextually, on marigold yellow paper, 8 1/2 x 7 5/8 in.

This letter was composed just after the Valentine’s Day blizzard that hit New England on February 14, 1940. In it, Kerouac describes his social interactions with wealthy school classmates from Horace Mann School, including seeing a friend’s beautiful younger sister, with whom he is quite smitten. Kerouac also mentions seeing Glenn Miller at the Hotel Penn. On a literary note, an anecdote that may have grown into a story from Kerouac’s Vanity of Duluoz also appears here. “About the snow storm. It was raging outside with a 70-mile gale. I decided to get a taste of the Lowell trips I used to make through the fields during big blizzards. I dressed up well and ventured out. I went down by the docks and listened to the ships in distress on the bay and on the East River. Later, I stopped into a waterfront bar for a stomach-warming beer.

Here I studied various characters. Then I went out and went on the Brooklyn Bridge. There I stood alone, with the gale full in my face, the only man on the Bridge on that night. Once in a while, a blast would almost blow me over, but I resolved to conquer the fear I had for a while. I did conquer it, for I could stand there and laugh out loud after a while. I don’t know why I did it, but I do know that it was the first adventurous experience I’ve had in a long time.” $3,000-5,000

Five sheets with 1 1/2 spaced-type covering all five pages. To George J. Apostolos, describing end-of-the year reading at Horace Mann (Hugo, Hemingway, Coward), Kerouac’s rate of reading (in detail), movies recently seen, including Rebecca, Wuthering Heights, Gone with the Wind, North by Northwest, Of Mice and Men, philosophy, literature, plans to return to Lowell, and other topics, on marigold yellow paper, 8 1/2 x 7 5/8 in.

“If there is to be a war, we’ll go into it together and laugh “at this thing they call dissolution.”

We’ll laugh at puny man’s puny mind----we’ll laugh at the puny flies which are fighting with us---together, we’ll scream with delight at the eccentricities of these flies. We’ll tell the war mongers to go to hell, and we’ll desert the war and flee to Singapore in a tramp steamer, and roam the sweaty streets, and drift to Alaska, where together, we’ll watch the blazing sun set beyond the white-capped peaks. We’ll defy all laws of conventionalism, and we’ll look at the world through glasses fogged with anti-realistic ideas----blinded with our idealistic grandeur, our elusive souls.” $3,000-5,000

[...] [W]e are both alike in the fact that we are idealistic aesthetics, seeking the finer things in life by means of classical expression. I pity the person who doesn’t partake of the wonderful delight of aesthetism [sic] ….and there are plenty of them.” $3,000-5,000

47 Kerouac, Jack (1922-1969) Typed Letter, with Manuscript Additions, 1-5 June 1940.

Five leaves (ten pages), typed, 1 1/2 space, comprising one letter on two sheets (four pages); and an experimental writing piece titled “Morning Mist” comprising two pages of a six page letter (three leaves). To George J. Apostolos, written after Kerouac’s graduation from Horace Mann School; the first letter discussing their shared future as writers, the upcoming summer in Lowell, memories of Lowell, and a detailed description of new jazz records Kerouac recently purchased. The piece on “Morning Mist” is a juvenile poetic prose piece influenced by Whitman; the letter containing more plans for the summer in Lowell, discussion of intellectual pursuits, reading, music, drinking, and women.

Typed on five leaves of wove marigoldcolored writing paper, with a typed envelope postmarked June 5, 1940, Brooklyn, New York, 12:30 am; the envelope chipped with loss, with an unfortunate paint leaking flaw in the upper right corner; the letters themselves with old folds, each page marked with a spot of discoloration, ranging in size from a 3/4 inch round, to a 1 x 2 inch splotch, one page unaffected, 8 1/4 x 7 5/8 in.

“I don’t like to see you say that you can’t ‘equal my amazing eloquence.’ In the first place, it is eloquence in every sense of the word, but it is not amazing. (You’ll find that out if you read something by Noel Coward, Jules Romains, Max Beerbohm, or the like.) However, it is an immature beginning---and the same applies for your flawless composition----into the field of unusual writing.

We are both well on our way, and I might add that we each possess a unique style apart from each other, and neither is better than the other. That’s a fact. As the years roll on, we shall develop styles of writing that may throw us into a literary spotlight. That book we’re going to write together will be the most sensational one since ‘The Tales of Gamberhousing’ by Roland Everhard II.” $3,000-5,000

“[A]ll Van Gogh’s gloriously artistic life has made me into a minor Van Gogh. I stay awake nights assuring myself that I too am an Artist---except that I paint with my pen, and not with a brush. (Writing.) I talk to myself and tell myself that I am an artist, because I shall write plays that will paint beautiful pictures of life.

The Impressionists defined beauty as realism, so that a well-painted whore, despite her lack of teeth was beauty because of its stark realism. That’s how I want to write.”

“There can be no adequate expression in this 20th Century without a typewriter. In the old days, Dickens wrote with a pen, but now the demand is for racy stuff racily written.”

“As for your suggestions on the college situation, you are absolutely correct. A diploma from Columbia is more meaty[.] […]

That’s where many a novelist, playwright, poet, artist, man of the world has come from---Columbia. I want to be a playwright and I need the Cosmopolitan education I’ll get there. Besides, after reading the Van Gogh biography, I want to be like him, living alone in my room, supporting myself and hanging my critical essays on the wall as if they were paintings in oil. I’m going to be a big maniac there, and all I have to say is that I wish you could be there with me-----studying for our eventual success in the field of letters. Go on with your readings and studyings and don’t ever let the narrow atmosphere of Lowell stop you.” $4,000-6,000

Never writing to me so that I’ll find your rare letters much more enjoyable? Write or I’ll boot your ass, don’t you know? You’re coming next Saturday, hey? I’ll be dying of loneliness then, because everybody is going home for Easter vacation. It will be the balls to have you. I’ll even get you a room for nothing. And I have a swell schedule. Hurry over, Kid GJ. And write immediately your plans. (SWELL ENGLISH) Scotty wrote me something that sounds like he’s coming April 26. Please explain.

ZAGG” “26 March 1942 GJIt’s been exactly one month and two days since your last document-which is a new record. Didn’t you get my last two letters?

How did we make out in our Gov. trial? Write, will you?? I might drop down to see you in a few weeks-perhaps next week, because I’m going on a business trip. But if you don’t write I’m certainly not going. How is your stock?

Mine is plenteous, and am very much (if not too much) satisfied from that angle. I quit the job. It looks like we’ll all be in the next draft.

At any rate, ecrivez. Dastou & I were talking baseball until 2:30 this morning-the other night we talked until 5 in the parlor […] is fine. See you later.” $700-900

“I struggle and work and cry and boast and ponder and laugh. I do all these things; they are the components of life. I have all my work, my duties, my studies, my responsibilities. I do them all---oftentimes in a lousy manner and in a lazy manner---but I always manage to scramble to that level that we call “Reasonable.” I know that the world is in chaos, and that my precious individualism will not last. But I also foresee things….great, awful, dark things… and I foresee a terrible […] of beauty and stark horror for both of us (and everyone else) […] that I am chosen by God to become a writer. For, the Lord […] will be needed in the days to come.” $1,500-2,500 51 Kipling, Rudyard (1865-1936) Autograph Poem, Signed.

Single page typed letter on white stationery with fine pinstripes, with the matching typeaddressed envelope, postmarked Monroeville, Alabama, 4 September 1960, to John Darden, two folds, envelope torn, the letter 10 x 7 in.

“Monroeville, Alabama (but not for long) Then it’ll be 403 East 77 Street NYC 21 John dearest: YOU UNDERSTAND. I have been to the four corners of the United States and back; in Kansas, where Truman Capote & I spent a bleak winter solving 4 murders for the New Yorker; in Monroeville, where a letter from you just missed me; in New York, where I became Famous; in Connecticut, where the Famous go to get used to it; in Easthampton, where the Famous go after they’ve gotten used to it; back to NY; up to Connecticut again where my beloved agent, Maurice Crain, became deathly ill, and deprived me of the small pleasures (like cashing checks at Brentano’s) and joys (like calling the phone company to give you an unlisted number) that the Famous are supposed to have. Maurice, thank God, is almost well (infectious hepatitis), and I’ve had to come back to Ala. to face the State.

Honey, I just can’t write you what’s happened to me, I’ll just have to see you and tell you.

But I can write you that I appreciated your Mockingbird letter more than any letter from anyone I’ve received. You are one of my oldest friends, John, and happily one whose judgement [the e struck out] and taste I’ve always respected to the utmost. To get a “Yes!” from you is an honor not easily won, and I want you to know I appreciate it more than I can say.

Please let me hear from you, if you are still speaking to me, and let me know where you are. I’m sending this to Phil. [sic] in hopes that you left a forwarding address. Doesn’t matter whether I write or not, I’ve always got to know where you are, John. I’m hoping against hope that you’ll be in NY when I return (if e’er I return, I’ve got so much to do down here), so I can get a glimpse of your ridiculous face once more.

Meantime, my love.

Nelle”

“December 30 Monroeville John dearest: Now that you have surfaced, keep this for the next 6 weeks or so: 433 East 82 St. NYC 10028 212-RH4-2066 (most secret, but now in the public domain.)

To say that my heart turned over when I heard from my old friend is inaccurate--at our age we have attacks, Harper Lee thrives, but at the expense of Nelle, who, after being well & truly mugged last June, fled to a more civilized environment (Vermont & Alabama). I plan to return to NY on the 8th, pack my books & get out of there for good--probably to Vermont for the remainder of the winter, then God knows where. I’m tired of fighting dope addicts and too old to pretend that NY is the center of the universe.

If Clayton is within a bus ride of the city, could you spare me at least a lunch or dinner hour some day? I promise you that you will find Nelle--old & grey & fat now, but retaining some recognizable characteristics. That I will know my John, I have no doubt.

I love you--N.” [with] a signed Christmas card, signed Nelle, and with the message, “Shall we ever meet again??,” 4 x 5 1/2 in.; [and] a photocopy of a two-page typed letter from John Darden sent to Lee, 6 January 1972; and a postcard from Darden to Lee. $3,000-3,500 53 Lescallier, Baron Daniel (1743-1822) Coded Letter, Signed, New York, 19 November 1812.

Large folio album of engravings done after Leclerc’s original paintings and drawings and some engraved by Leclerc directly, and signed in the plate, consisting of fifty-three leaves with approximately 472 separate engravings, ranging in size from very large full-page folio, to some the size of postage stamps, and everything in between, including images of many subjects fulfilling many categories of illustration, including title pages, frontispieces, bookplates, armorial crests and medals, illustrations for Aesop’s Fables, the life of Christ, and other works, engraved initials and decorative pieces, portraits, architectural interiors and exteriors, landscapes, and many others, including some that may be proof or unfinished prints; some engravings cut out of the album; bound in contemporary leather, worn, front board detached, corners quite worn, 21 1/2 x 16 in.

The only uniting theme of this group of engravings is Leclerc, and it seems unlikely that anyone other than the artist would have access to so much of his work.
