Description

Wilde pens a scarce, near-pristine note of regret, adding “it will give me much pleasure to have the opportunity of meeting you”

ANS on both sides of an off-white 4.25 x 3.5 card, no date. Wilde pens a quick note to Samuel Dickson, in full: “I am afraid I am engaged to dine on my only vacant night with Mr. Childs but it will give me much pleasure to have the opportunity of meeting you.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Wilde’s hand and featuring his personal seal, still very much intact. A particularly desirable example, featuring bold, dark script and a perfectly preserved signature. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
