[Rarebooks] FS: John Burroughs SIGNED Letter to William Winters

[Charles Agvent]

BURROUGHS, John. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) to William Winters. West 
Park, NY, 15 November [1915]. A two-page handwritten letter to drama 
critic and author William Winters on one side of two sheets of 5-1/2" x 
8-1/4" "Riverby" stationery, SIGNED in full by Burroughs at the 
conclusion. In full: "I have had one letter from you during my long 
life, but you have had none from me. So I am writing you a line to tell 
you how much I enjoyed those days with you at the Rowlands. Like all 
good fruit-- you have grown sweeter as you have grown riper, & I am sure 
that, unlike some fruit-- you will always be sound at heart. I regret 
that we did not meet earlier in our lives. Much of your literary output 
is outside of the field of my interests, which is a narrow one, but I 
know your English books well & have enjoyed them. It was a delight to 
hear you recall the old 'Saturday Press' days & the generation of 
writers to which we both belong. When men reach our age they begin to 
enjoy the leisure of the spirit & the fret & fever of the world passes 
them by, I trust that a long serene old age may be the fortune of both 
of us, & that we may meet again under a happy skies as we did before." 
With the envelope addressed by Burroughs and annotated by Winters. 
Creases from mailing; slight fading of ink at the end. Near Fine.
