Comments

The library sale catalogue of prominent Chicago author Henry Blake Fuller (1857-1929), replete with American literary association copies, unusual Chicago imprints, the majority of his manuscripts (The Cliff Dwellers - $200.00, though no Bertram Cope's Year), and letters from key literary figures such as William Dean Howells. The descriptions of the manuscripts, which the sale scattered hither and yon, are probably the only record of their existence, particularly the unpublished ones, and they include useful details about their contents. Prices recorded in pencil throughout, with the ownership notation on the upper wrapper "Rosen 8191" followed by a short squiggle. Rosenbach?
