Description

ALS, one page, 4.25 x 7, Undershaw letterhead, no date but circa 1906-1907. Boldly penned letter to fellow writer Frankfort Moore, in part: "Could you leave it open? I shall, I think, be within 16 miles of Lewes that day, seeing my fiancee. My engagement is not for the press yet, but it exists. If I might bring her down in the motor (Miss Leckie the name) & present her to Mrs. Frankfort Moore I would try to do so." In fine condition, with light toning at the top and bottom from old tape residue on the reverse. Doyle married Jean Elizabeth Leckie on September 18, 1907.
