Description

Bret Harte

ALS signed “Fr. B. Harte,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 8.25, Overland Monthly letterhead, August 17, 1869. Letter to an aspiring writer. In part: “I have retained your MS of ‘The Fraser River Excitement’ hoping some day to find space for it in our columns…but should you wish to recover the MS it is at your disposal. For a contribution of such solidity it is somewhat long, but it is only just to repeat to you that it is its length solely that has kept it from appearing in a magazine that demands variety in each number.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds. RR Auction COA.
