Group of four TYPED LETTERS SIGNED, three of them on the acidic 8-1/2" x 11" paper O'Hara often used in correspondence and one on smaller Nassau Club stationery. All are to O'Hara's friend and film producer Gordon Haight; one is SIGNED in full, two are SIGNED "John" and one is SIGNED "J." In part: "I'd like to bring my wife to meet you ... but, like a farmer, I have to look ahead.... I see just about nothing coming if I don't now apply the tapering fingers to the typewriter ... and then we'll be able to tell the truth of that dubious statement: you can't shoot a man for trying." O'Hara also discusses his reluctance to accept invitations to speak, "but as Belle points out, the few times I've done it, I've enjoyed it.... However, I don't think I'll ever make a John Mason Brown. John has his two double-bourbons after he holds forth; I, as you found out, require my scotches before, during, and after. Heywood Broun used to fill a water pitcher with gin, but I could not deceive my public to that degree." O'Hara mentions that Haight is co-producing a television version of APPOINTMENT IN SAMARRA, but apparently this never came to fruition. O'Hara demanded a great amount of money to have his first book made into a film, and despite interest at different times from David Selznick and Paul Newman, O'Hara stuck to his guns and the book was not filmed.

A 2-page letter on two sides of one half of a 9-3/4" x 8" sheet of paper addressed "Dear Sir" to Abijah Metcalf Ide regarding a mistaken identification of a poem's authorship. In full: "I have received a copy of the Taunton Democrat containing Mr. Trowbridge's (author of Jackwood, etc.) poem "On Beauty," and it is there ascribed to me. I entreat you to say in your next paper that it is not mine, but his. I wonder at the error, for I could not find any reason for it in the poem." SIGNED as "R. W. Emerson." This letter, along with the others we are offering, was the subject of a 1991 article by Melanie Bauer in RESOURCES FOR AMERICAN LITERARY STUDY titled "Emerson's Acquaintance with Abijah Metcalf Ide, Jr.: Six Unpublished Letters" [RALS17 (1991): 258-262]. Small chips at both ends of the fold.

A 2-page letter on both sides of a 4-7/8" x 6-3/4" sheet of paper addressed "Dear Sir" to Abijah Metcalf Ide about a borrowed book. In full: "I have just received from Mr. Watson the volume belonging to the Athenaeum which I had lent him. I am sorry that I do not find at home my own copy of the 'Last words on Homer' which is the sequel to this. In due time it will doubtless come. You can keep this book several weeks without objection. You shall return it to me care of Ticknor & Fields, say, in six weeks. But Mr. [?] might also read it." SIGNED as "R. W. Emerson." This letter, along with the others we are offering, was the subject of a 1991 article by Melanie Bauer in RESOURCES FOR AMERICAN LITERARY STUDY titled "Emerson's Acquaintance with Abijah Metcalf Ide, Jr.: Six Unpublished Letters" [RALS17 (1991): 258-262]. The book Emerson mentions is not listed in Harding's EMERSON'S LIBRARY. With the original envelope addressed by Emerson with the stamps removed affecting the postmark.

AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED as "G. Santayana" by this Spanish-born American poet and philosopher who is thought to be the originator of the oft-used expression: "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it." That sentence is hinted at in this letter to Mr. Robertson. In full: "It is a pleasure, and not a common one, to hear a word of appreciation from the midst of the active and public world, not tinged by any literary or academic prejudice; and I am happy to know that you have found refreshment in the atmosphere of my writings. The present, without long perspectives into the past or the future, presses very hard on our generation: more on yours, I should say, than on mine, because in the 1890's, when I reached my moral majority, there was still at least in Europe, a somewhat harmonious civilization, which is impossible today. We are being punished for the sins of our fathers." A remarkable letter written near the conclusion of his long and productive life.
