ALS signed “J. Ruskin,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, Brantwood letterhead, no date. In part: "Yes, my dear lady—it's just because you haven't the slightest idea that you have been doing such a lot of mischief! John Halifax is the only book of real power and worth that has been written—to my knowledge in England—on the blessed idea that everybody might be a gentleman—Which of course issues in—'everybody should be a landlord'—and then in 'Everybody should be King—Queen—Pope—and—Lord of the Sun & Moon." In fine condition.
