Beschreibung:

Three typed and one autograph letter signed, to his fellow Bristol bookseller Raymond Haynes, the first two written in early 1929 during printing of The Ancient Mariner ("...I've been in town and at the Gills' for the week-end; the Ancient Mariner and the Gill book now proceed apace... We're making a fresh lot of paper for the Ancient Mariner; as the tone of the first lot that was made was too warm. The printing may start in two or three weeks' time: a prospectus will be out soon, with a specimen page...") and describing an encounter at Fothergill's Spread Eagle at Thame ("...I met Evelyn Waugh there with his wife; no doubt you've seen his book 'Decline and Fall' - most amusing thing, I thought..."); the others written in 1960, discussing purchases from J.E.
