American writer, editor, military surgical assistant, and acclaimed artist (1846– 1912) who was a fatality of the sinking of the Titanic. ALS signed “F. D. Millet,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, dated March 10. Millet writes, in part: “I shall be happy to help you in the article as much as I am able. It will be impossible for me to say what I can do however until I see the article itself. I would suggest however that in connection with the use of gesture the importance of drapery as a means of intensifying the expression might well be the part which comes nearest my line.” In very good condition, with area of separation along the central hinge and light show-through from a spot of soiling on the reverse.
