[Rarebooks] FS: John Ruskin Letter

[Charles Agvent]

RUSKIN, John. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Oxford, 7 February 1876. 
One-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED "J Ruskin" on one side of an 8-3/4" x 
7" sheet of Corpus Christi College stationery folded in half addressed 
to a Miss Rudkin. Ruskin requests that she send a bill [for the dress 
she purchased for him to give as a present]. "I don't usually let my 
debts stand so long; will you kindly send ... the account for my last 
indulgence in your charming and too tempting imaginations. Really, in 
the truth of old English -- that blue dress was 'excellent well 
fancied!'" In his letter to Ms. Rudkin written on October 29 of the 
previous year, Ruskin asked that she find "a pretty, quiet, thoroughly 
strong, and not fussy nor catchy sort of dress for Ethel Hilliard." Mild 
creases from mailing. Near Fine. (#020607)        $1,250
