American author and naturalist (1863–1924) whose novels include Laddie, Freckles, and A Girl of the Limberlost. TLS, one page, 8 x 10, ornate Gene Stratton-Porter Productions letterhead, August 9, 1923. Letter to a sick young girl. In part: “If you enjoy the books, I think that some of your friends might get them from the library for you. You say you have not had any since ‘Freckles.’ That was published nearly twenty years ago and since that time there have been at least sixteen others…I am wondering if you have a very competent doctor or if something more could not be done to help you find your feet again.” Some scattered light toning and creasing, and a small chip to left edge, otherwise fine condition. RR Auction COA.
