English writer (1882-1950). One page, quarto. Good, but lightly creased and dusty, and with minor spotting. Concerns the writer George Augustus Sala, about whom Straus would publish a book in 1942. He is grateful for the Sala letters, and encloses a cheque. 'I appreciate your good nature in letting me have them. [...] My own Sala collection is fairly, but not wholly, complete. I have no copy, for instance, of his pamphlet (1860 or 1862) on the Wimbledon Volunteer Rifle Meeting. I collect any presentation copies, and am still on the look out for really fine copies of any of the earlier works. | I know the Hain Friswell book and have also press cuttings of the trial, but if your friend would be so kind as to give you a list of what books he has, that would only increase my indebtedness to you.'
