Letters are in Very Good condition with light wear. The first has a paper-clip indent. Light age toning to envelopes. KW Consignment. Shelved case 0. From the Stephen May Autograph Collection. As a youth in the 1940's, Stephen May (1931-2016) collected autographs of famous people, identifying individuals through Who's Who publications and contacting them with a thoughtful, lengthy, well-researched letter introducing himself, acknowledging the individuals' accomplishments, asking one or two pertinent questions and, finally, requesting that they return a signature. Some responded simply with an autograph on a provided 3x5 card while others included bonus material with the signature in the form of a poem, letter, friendly greeting, or words of advice for the teenage boy. Steve's collecting hobby became known among his family and wider circle of friends in the city of Rochester, NY, where his father, Arthur J. May, taught European history at the University of Rochester, and his mother, Hilda Jones May, was active in the community. Eventually, more people helped Steve in his pursuit, which accounts for the signatures with dates before or after the mid-40's and without the prompting of a letter from him. A few signatures are from the 19th century. The collection is a broad representation of the people and forces that shaped our world, and the culture, accomplishments, and innovations of the first half the 20th century. 1366648.

A 15-line TLS from Leslie Charteris (undated) to Eileen Cond from Leslie Charteris on Hotel Lexington, New York note-paper. Eileen Cond was a socialite and renowned book collector whose practice it was to write to the major authors of the day to request a signed book-plate (or signed copy of the author's book). She amassed an enormous library that was scattered to the four winds many years ago. She was particularly close to Ian Fleming and Leslie Charteris. CHARLES E. ROCHESTER GENERAL MANAGER TELEPHONE WICKERSHAM 2-4400 CABLE ADDRESS: "LEXTEL" HOTEL LEXINGTON LUXINGTON AVENUE AT FORTY-EIGHTH STREET NEW YORK CITY 17.3.33 Dear Eileen, Thank you so much for sending along that cutting. It hadn t come my way at all, and I should probably have missed it altogether if you hadn t thought of posting it to me. I DO live in England, and mostly in London, when I can be said to live anywhere; but I travel around a good deal. I ve been here for four months now, and before that I was in Spain. Just at the moment I look like going to Hollywood; but when I get back to the land where the cocktails are drinkable and the banks stay open I ll certainly sign a copy of a Saint book for you. If you haven t read ONCE MORE THE SAINT - and THE BRIGHTER BUCCANEER - by that time I shall weep for you. You ve only read three saint books? What about the other seven or eight? Any letter from a reader is always a grand event. Please don t mind writing again any time you feel like it. Sincerely yours, Leslie Charteris with his signature in fountain pen black ink) The letter is in VG condition with tape residue to all four corners. The letter has two folds to fit into an envelope. Photographs/scans available upon request. Signed by Author.

Autograph Letter Signed. On the Author s Saint Enterprises Inc letterhead (314 North Robertson Boulevard, Holywood 36, California). Dated November 15, 1945. Addressed to Mr Henry Bjorling, Hantverkaregatan 75A II, Norkoping, Sweden. Dear Mr Bjorling: Many thanks for your interesting letter. You can be sure I am quite flattered to know that you take the trouble of reading my books in English, and I must commend you on how well you have mastered the language. I am enclosing a complete list of all the Saint titles in the order of their writing. They may all be ordered through this office in 25c pocket form. Although a great many of them have not been published by us we will be glad to take orders in advance and mail you the copies as soon as they come off the press, which in most cases will probably be some time next year. The charge is 25 American cents per book. I am sorry to say we do not mail books for payment on delivery. However, the Saint series is also published in Swedish, and perhaps you can find some you have missed so far in your native language. I don t know the name of the Swedish publisher since all that is handled by an agent of mine in New York. I am enclosing the autographed photo you asked for. Sincerely, Leslie Charteris. Signed in ink. The one-page letter is in near fine condition although it is a little creased in places. Signed by Author.

A 24-line TLS from Leslie Charteris (undated) to Eileen Cond. Eileen Cond was a socialite and renowned book collector whose practice it was to write to the major authors of the day to request a signed book-plate (or signed copy of the author's book). She amassed an enormous library that was scattered to the four winds many years ago. She was particularly close to Ian Fleming and Leslie Charteris. This letter has fascinating content in that it gives Charteris' views of some of his early books and his distaste for some of his earliest efforts (pre-Meet the Tiger) whereby he tells Eileen Cond: "I can't prevent you knowing about them; but if you do insist on reading them I refuse to answer any letters on the subject". Permanent Address:- c/o RAYMOND SAVAGE LTD 39, JERMYN STREET, LONDON, W.1 Please Reply to:- 18 Manson Place, S.W.7. Miss Eileen M. Cond, The Den Hampton in Arden, Warwickshire. Dear Eileen, Here s your book. Of course I ll do another one for you if you don t like this one. Anyone who actually buys a book these days, instead of borrowing it from a library, is at least worth an autograph. According to your list, you ve missed ALIAS THE SAINT, and the first Saint book of all, MEET THE TIGER, which was published by Ward Lock. I had one or two other early book published by Ward Lock, but I m not proud of them, and I d really prefer you not to drop down from the heights of Saint stories to those very amateurish efforts. If you get hold of MEET THE TIGER you ll find those other ones mentioned, so I can t prevent you knowing about them; but if you do insist on reading them I refuse to answer any letters on the subject. By short stories I meant the king that you get in the volumes of three like THE HOLY TERROR, and not exactly the very short ones like THE BRIGHTER THE BUCCANEER. So there is still hope for us both. After weeping for some time over your sister s disapproval of the end of KNIGHT TEMPLAR, I ve decided not to commit suicide. Admittedly it wasn t my best book, but you can t be right all the time. Best wishes, Leslie Charteris. (with his signature in fountain pen black ink) The letter is in near fine condition but was probably folded both vertically and horizontally to fit into an envelope. There is a faint rust mark to the top edge caused by a paper-clip (although there is nothing attached. Photographs/scans available upon request. Signed by Author.
