Lot 54
Burroughs, Edgar Rice (1875-1950) American novelist and science fiction author, known the world over as the creator of "Tarzan."
Typed Letter Signed ("Edgar Rice Burroughs"). One page, large octavo, Reseda, California, July 31, 1928. On Edgar Rice Burroughs letterhead. To Ida Corey. Transmittal envelope included, as is a small printed pamphlet "The Novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs". Two horizontal folds, very minor surface soil, minor adhesive residue on verso. Very good to fine condition.
As is the case in a few of this collector's items, the addressee has to correct some of her mistakes and we wonder if Burroughs got the chuckle out of this that we did. "Your letter addressed to John Burroughs, Tarzana Ranch, Reseda California, was opened by my son, John Burroughs, when it was intended for the late John Burroughs, the naturalist…John Burroughs did not write the Tarzan stories. I am returning your letter herewith."
Estimated Value $125 - 150.
