STEVENSON, ROBERT LOUIS. 1850-1894.
Autograph Letter Signed ("Robert Louis Stevenson"), 1 p, 8vo, Bournemouth, December 30, 1884, to H.A. Jones, lightly thumbed, otherwise fine.
In part: "I am so accustomed to hear nonsense spoken about all the arts, and the drama in particular, that I cannot refrain from saying thank you for your paper. In my answer to Mr. James, in the December Longman, you may see that I have merely touched, I think in a parenthesis, on the drama; but I believe enough was said to indicate our agreement in essentials." Published in The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson to his Family and Friends, vol I (1899).
See illustration.
