[Meynell, Alice] Three-Page ALS

April 28th, Clifton. Three pages on printed "Red Cross" stationary, to James A. Manson, on original printed envelope which has superb bright red illustration by John Singer Sargent, an artist which Meynell wrote about. A letter written with a tone of anger or, at best, indignation, turning down Manson's request 'for the publication of my place of birth or year, saying, in part, "I have declined several similar applications. such information has nothing to do with the quality of my work. I object to the same with respect ot the publication of my portrait- which has been done by accident." Meynell was an important author, poet and suffragist in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, and the tone here is certainly in consonance with her views on women's rights.
