Autograph Letter Signed to unnamed male publishers.

Anglo-Irish journalist and caricaturist (1854-1925), best known for his work for Punch. Three pages, 12mo. Very good, but with slight wear and discoloration to recto of first leaf of bifoliate. Asks to 'know the fate of Miss Lyster's M.S.' 'You will recollect I called & saw you about it some months ago. She is anxious you should understand you can have the M.S. without the drawings as you did not seem <?> for the latter | An answer will much oblige | Yours very truly | [signed] Harry Furniss'. Suggests that his correspondent may wish to 'write direct to Miss Lyster | Rocksavage | Blackrock | Co Dublin'. The subject of the letter is presumably Annette M. Lyster, a voluminous author of children's books of a religious nature.
