Description

"Also, please kill your proofreader"

Sought-after ALS in pencil, signed “O. H.,” one page, 8 x 10, no date. Letter to R. H. Davis of Munsey's Magazine, in full: "Will you be nice enough to let me go over the proofs of my stories before they are published? The printer with his usual helfiredness, seems to always butcher the meaning by setting up words that do not appear in the MS. Also, please kill your proofreader." The letter is affixed to a slightly larger cardstock mount. In very good to fine condition, with three small areas of paper loss.
