Autograph Note Signed.
This American poet published his first collection ("An Ode to Harvard and Other Poems") in 1907, acting as editor at "McClure's Magazine" briefly and taking part in the famed Spectra literary hoax in 1916; in 1922 he relocated to Santa Fe and became a mainstay of the rich literary scene there, publishing poetry collections until 1960. Item #42106
ANS, 1p, 5¼" X 7 3/4", New York, NY, 1917 September 26. Addressed to Ms. Stearne. Good plus. Inoffensive mounting traces on verso cause tiny (¼") paper loss at upper right; several small paper losses along original vertical center fold (not affecting text). On pale grey pictorial letterhead of Hotel St. Francis in San Francisco, the poet pens a brief, cryptic but cordial note in thick black ink: "A long while after and in a rattling hurry -- but with appreciative thanks and good wishes!" and signs nicely beneath. An attractive example despite noted flaws.
