original letter. STACPOOLE (H. de Vere). Autograph letter signed to Douglas Sladen, with Writers' Club invitation card. 17 February 1922. 1 page on headed paper "Astle House, Castle Hedingham, Essex," together with printed Writers' Club invitation (completed in manuscript, inviting "Mr & Mrs Douglas Sladen" to Mrs Stacpoole's gathering, Friday Nov. 3rd [n.y.]); both very good. A genial note from the Irish novelist H. de Vere Stacpoole, author of The Blue Lagoon (1908), written to his long-time literary associate Douglas Sladen, about club matters. An attractive literary association between two well-connected Edwardian authors, accompanied by the scarce printed Writers' Club invitation in Mrs Stacpoole's name. . Very Good.
