Description

Scarce Wilde letter offering his expertise to a fellow writer: "I will be very glad if I can be of any service to the author of Pendragon"

Irish writer and leader of the Aesthetic Movement, and author of such works as The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Importance of Being Earnest, and The Happy Prince. ALS, one page, 7.5 x 9.5, no date. Letter to a Mr. Young. In full, "I have only just returned from Paris, or would have done myself the pleasure of communicating sooner with you. I will be very glad if I can be of any service to the author of Pendragon, and if you have no better engagement perhaps you will breakfast with me, sans facon [informally], tomorrow (Friday) at 11 o' c." In fine condition, with intersecting folds, some light creases, and a few spots of light soiling. Handwritten letters from Wilde are few and very far between! Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
