by [Agar, George James Welbore, 1st Baron Dover]

  • Used
Dover House, Whitehill, 1831. 1 1/2 pp. on recto and verso of one panel of a folded lettersheet. Blank verso of conjugate tipped to mounting sheet otherwise very good. Baron Dover (1797-1833), British art patron, collector and editor of Walpole's letters, writes to British poet and anthologist Alaric A. Watts (1797-1864), stating in part: "I return you many thanks for the beautiful & almost unique proof of Lady Dover's print, which you have been good enough to send me ...." He further comments about the recipeint's decision regarding having an engraving made of "the picture by Collins ...if you finally determine not to have it engraved, will you be so good as to let me have it ...." An early ink note, likely by the recipient, appears on the recto of the conjugate: "The late Lord Dover, a most accomplished nobleman and the author of several popular works."

1971. Lettre. Très bon. Couverture souple. Ed. originale. Alger, 29 octobre 1971. 1 p. in-4p, 19 lignes dactylographiées signées, deux corrections et un ajout autographes. Belle et tendre lettre. Il relit depuis six mois la lettre que l'écrivain Christian Maurel lui a écrite. "[Ce qu'il] relit aussi, plusieurs fois, et ce n'est pas fini, ce sont les Canaris", un livre qu'il trouve riche au-delà de sa beauté formelle et qui "a la densité du creux des mains, appliquée à la chair d'autrui". Il lui commande de publier ce qu'il a écrit d'autre que les Canaris car "la beauté est faite pour être donnée à voir, c'est vrai des livres aussi bien que des corps, et d'ailleurs que c'est charnel ce que tu écris." Avant de signer, il ajoute à l'encre "et je t'embrasse"..

Dans la première lettre il annonce son enthousiasme à Maurel à propos de ses textes : "Cela me semble très bien, et remarquable [souligné] (mot usé, mais ramenons-le à l'origine). Je redonne, appuyé chaud, ton, tes textes au Comité et en parle à Lambrichs)." Dans la seconde lettre, il fait part de sa déception que ces textes n'aient pas été retenus : "Je n'ai appris que par toi la décision finale de Lambrichs et du Comité. Je ne suis pas content, mais pas surpris : Lambrichs était assez réticent après sa lecture. Mais as-tu autre chose en train ?"

Palahniuk returns signed books and informs his correspondent that in the furure the "address in Vacouver, Washington will be unreliable. I'm seldom there." He recommends St Helen's Bookstore for future signed books. "It's a small one-room bookstore and I stop there once a month... It's good to support small, independent bookstores." Palahniuk adds that he is glad to return the books. "It would bum-me-out to think they'd sat in the 'dead-letter' office, or -- like a ton of my mail -- got left in the rain... You wouldn't guess the sad, wet mountain of mail that gets hauled away from my old house in Portland." He ends with "I'll shut up now." Signed in ink. Fine condition.. Signed by Author. Unbound. Fine. Typed Letter Signed.
