Price reduced to $495 NET

ADAMS, Richard. AUTOGRAPHED LETTER SIGNED (ALS) with Archive of Related 
Materials. Mountain View, CA, 5 Jan. 1982. AUTOGRAPHED LETTER SIGNED of 
4 pages. About personal matters but primarily concerned with making 
corrections in an interview eventually published in the WEBSTER REVIEW 
in 1985. Adams mentions Kipling, Dickens, Trollope, and others, as well 
as his being president of the British Royal Society for the Prevention 
of Cruelty to Animals. Regarding his WATERSHIP DOWN and a character from 
De la Mare's THE THREE MULLA-MULGARS, Adams says, "Nod & Fiver are 
similar in remaining weak, but in developing authority as their story 
develops. I did not say that Fiver's vision of man derived from the 
Nod-Andy Battle episode...." Along with a copy of the magazine 
containing the interview, copies of the interviewer's letters to Adams, 
and two copies of the manuscript of the interview--one the final copy 
and the other with some questions and answers not used in the final 
version. Crease marks from folding. With original envelope. Near Fine. 
(#005012)        $650
