Description

Doyle scouts for burial plots as he tries to avoid “trouble with parishioners who might…look upon us as intruders”

ALS signed “A. Conan Doyle,” one page, 5 x 8, personal letterhead, May 15. Letter to an unidentified gentleman. In full: “We are in distress as my wife’s mother is on the point of death. Perhaps you will allow me to hold over an answer to your kind letter until after the funeral. Meanwhile I can assure you that much as I should appreciate a site in so sweet a spot I would not desire to give you any possible trouble with parishioners who might, with some reason, look upon us as intruders.” In very good condition, with bisecting mailing folds, one through a single letter of signature, scattered foxing and toning, with a light overall shade of toning from previous display. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
