STEVENSON ROBERT LOUIS: (1850-1894) Scottish Novelist of Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Rare A.L.S., Robert Louis Stevenson, three pages, 8vo, Pitlochry, Perthshire, n.d. (6th July 1881), to Eva Simpson, his biographer. Stevenson apologises for his silence, explaining that he has been travelling, `and that tires me shockingly now-a-days`. He continues `The question of critics is not easy; but I shall mention the case to those whom I dare. You see a word too much, or a word out of season or a word that in any way alarms the critic`s vanity which is so active or his honesty which is so sluggish, produces the precise contrary of the desired effect. Hence, gentle going is safe.` The author then discusses a title, explaining that his wife and mother have `all been breaking our heads`, adding `All the dog titles seem used up. But here are some: The Dogs of a Household, The Dogs of a Family, My Four footed friends….My furry friends, A Tale of Tails. Some of them are not bad. For the joke`s sake, I must add another, which I struck out, all unconscious of its absurdity, in the heat of talk:- My Hairy Acquaintance!` Accompanied by the front panel (stamp removed) of the original envelope, hand addressed by Stevenson (the address partially corrected in another hand). A fine letter, written in the same year that Stevenson wrote Treasure Island. A very light, extremely minor, band of discoloration appears at the extreme edges of the letter, evidently caused by previous framing, otherwise VG

A.L.S., Henry Cole, four pages, 8vo, South Kensington Museum, 22nd October 1870, to G. Wells. Cole informs his correspondent that he had been quite serious in proposing Dr. Lyon Playfair although explains that, since he saw him this morning, Playfair `is wishful that Mr. Carleton Tufnell should be proposed and supported instead of himself. Mr. Carleton Tufnell is perhaps the most experienced man in schools for the working classes. He is inspector of the Metropolitan District Schools which are far superior in my opinion to almost every National School that exists.` In concluding Cole asks Wells if he would be on a Committee to promote the election of Tufnell and Lord Lawrence, `who I think as an experienced and religious educationalist is most qualified`. Rare. VG
