ALS signed “Doc,” two pages both sides, 6 x 9.25, illustrated Grand Hotel and New Annex letterhead, New York, February 3, 1910. Letter to his wife, Dolly. In part: “Every thing in the theatre line, and almost all in the publishing line, tends toward the abnormal & decadent. I wouldn’t live in N. Y. if they gave me the place. I had a very satisfactory interview with Mr. Scribner, and believe I impressed him…Warner thinks the Inferno story great. He made me an offer for the Jungle story in a serial—$400 cash; and also offered $1500 cash for a western trip. Of course I’d have to pay expenses…But it’s good.” In fine condition, with mild show-through from writing on opposing sides. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, filled out by Grey, including his signature as part of the addressee, “Mrs. Dr. Zane Grey.” RRAuction COA.
