réf. 11472Both from 367 Elm Street New Haven Connecticut one on a letterhead. 12 May and 11 June 1928. Both letters fair on aged paper. Letter One: 12mo 4 pp. Discussing the possibility that McCamic might be able to 'stop-over in New Haven' on his journey to Smith. 'You might be interested to see the proofs of the Bibliography'. 'This has been a hard letter to write and doesn't sound as cordial as I should wish . I wish I could invite you to stay with me on the night of the 15 but I live in a small apartment and have no accomodations sic for guests'. Letter Two: 10pp. small 4to. In this letter Pottle deals in details with queries regarding the publication history of three books acquired by McCamic: Boswell's 'Dorando'; 'The History of the Douglas Cause in General' by Francis Douglas of Aberdeen; and Boswell's 'Essence of the Douglas Cause'. He ends with a discussion of the current prices for the books. 'The Essence is a rare book - no copy in the British Museum though that doesn't mean much. Adam has been after a copy for years. Grant in Edinburgh put one in a catalogue for £1; he had a score of orders for it as you can guess. McKinlay being on the spot nabbed it; I gave him $50 for it. A little later he picked up another which Tinker bought for $75. . Adam has so far as I can discover the only copy of Dorando in this country a splendid copy of the large-paper first. . Tinker has had only one chance at a Dorando that was another large-paper first but while he was pondering the price the dealer decided to keep it himself.' Both from 367 Elm Street, New Haven, Connecticut (one on a letterhead). 12 May and 11 June 1928. unknown
