[Rarebooks] FS: Two Autograph Letters from Zane Grey to his son Romer

[Charles Agvent]

 From our latest Internet Catalogue which contains a truly amazing array 
of TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERARY MANUSCRIPTS, LETTERS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS, a 
total of 90 items, many quite scarce and remarkable as well as revealing 
of the creative process and personal lives of the subjects.  It includes 
a number of archives, some rather substantial, including Sherwood 
Anderson, W. H. Auden, Robert Lowell, Norman Mailer, John Masefield, 
John O'Hara, Clifford Odets, Maxwell Perkins, E. H. Shepard, and Philip 
Whalen, among others.  Our Boston Book Fair Catalogue will be posted 
next week and includes fine Signed Presidential and Literary items, 
Early Printed Books, Illustrated Books and Fine Bindings, and our usual 
selection of the unusual.

1. GREY, Zane. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) to his son. Roseburg, OR:
25  June  1935.  A fine two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED as  "Dad"  to
his  son Romer on colorful Zane Grey Camp stationery with envelope. In
part:  "I've  been gone 10 days, and have received only one wire  from
home.  No  letters! Pyramid Lake was the bunk. It's all right for  big
shots  who are dumb, but not for me. There were some peachy  divorcees
there....  We trolled for hours - for nothing.... You should always be
sure  of  your ground before you steer anyone up against  anything....
We  are  here in camp, and it's lovely.... No fish yet. The  river  is
about  18  inches  high, and sure is hell. There are a  few  steelhead
coming  up, so we hear. But I haven't seen any.... By July 15  fishing
should  be good." Folds from mailing, still about Fine, with envelope.
                                                               $1000.00
