ALS 8pp 5" X 8" New Haven CT 1889 April 8. Addressed to Moss. Very good. Light and even age toning; slight separation along one fold. Apparently writing to a former schoolmate Beers here offers up a lengthy reading list of English history titles reading in small part: "I am not an authority on English history -- pragmatic or general political history I mean -- but I can speak with confidence of some few works in that department. J.R. Green's 'Short History of the English People' in one volume is the best outline of the whole subject & is better than his larger book in four volumes. For the earliest period Kember's 'Saxons in England' Green's 'The Making of England' & Freeman's 'Norman Conquest' are the best. Sharon Turner's 'History of the Anglo Saxons' is a standard but somewhat antiquated." Then does the same for the medieval period individual reigns the 16th century the Stuart period the 18th and 19th centuries historical novels and English literature. An interesting tutorial from the noted academic. unknown

"With All My Heart" which reached #15 on the Billboard charts in 1957 is this pop singer's most remembered hit although "Someday" and "The Way I Love You" also reached the charts; discovered by Chancellor Records' founder Bob Marcucci in early 1957 "With All My Heart" became one of that new firm's first big hits.

Choice vintage piece from the height of her fame -- likely one of a kind in this large format. Uncommon thus. Superb for display. unknown

GRIBAYEDOFF Valerian ? ?
Signed Ink Sketch
Shortly after Joseph Pulitzer acquired the "New York World" in 1883 he hired this Russian-born writer journalist and artist -- whose fine etched portraits helped make him one of the fathers of modern newspaper illustration and incidentally helped make Pulitzer's new venture influential and profitable; he also illustrated such books as the first American edition of Tolstoy's "Ivan the Fool" 1891. Stunning original signed ink sketch heavy stock 7�" X 9 3/4" art board n.p. n.y. Very good. Pleasantly age toned to a creamy vellum color; lower left corner triangular roughly 4" X 2�" and lower right corner ditto roughly 2 3/4" X 1" creased and strengthened on verso but not terribly noticeable or disfiguring on recto; mounting traces on verso. A stunning head-and-shoulders portrait of General William T. Sherman in uniform later years gazing intently at the viewer. Finely executed in great detail Sherman appears tired and rather haggard with thinning hair and white beard. The eyes in particular are exceptionally well done and lifelike grabbing the viewer with their piercing intensity. Gribayedoff signs quite small at lower left noting "after photo" below his signature. We have not been able to pinpoint the occasion for this portrait or the specific photographs on which it is based but likely it accompanied a "New York World" story about Sherman. Gribayedoff originals are quite scarce and desirable. Despite mild corner damage a most handsome piece. hardcover

Prolific Missouri author of historical romances such as "Fran" "Lahoma" "Wolves of Holland" and "Stork's Nest." Two items: First a TNS 1p 8�" X 11" Plattsburg MO 1923 January 22. Addressed to Albert Johannsen 1871-1962 a University of Chicago geology professor who authored "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" 1950 the definitive reference work on the subject. Near fine. Nice note to an admirer: "Yours. finds me in my winter home far from my library so I cannot send the MS.-page of any published novel. However I inclose a page from my last book not as yet announced named but only tentatively 'Tandy Sees the World.' . The MS. notes for revision are in shorthand of my devising." Bold full signature. Second is the aforementioned page a TMS 1p 8�" X 11" n.p. n.y. Very good. On thin onion-skin type paper typed in purple ink this nice double-spaced typescript opens with characteristic Ellis prose: "The younger man stared at him perplexedly puzzled less by the dancing eyes which seemed scintillating with a rush of sparks blown in a wind than by the enigmatic utterances of the kindly mouth." Crossouts additions and deletions penned throughout including several lines added to the verso of the leaf. In the left margin vertically he writes "First draft of novel of 1922-1923 / J. Breckenridge Ellis / All rights reserved." Ellis does not seem to have published a book by this title but whether this title was published under another title warrants further research. Accompanied by Johannsen's original 8�" X 11" file folder bearing a printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label partly filled in by Johannsen. A handsome pair. unknown
