EDGAR WILSON "BILL" NYE. Autograph Letter signed twice: "Edgar Wilson Nye", "'Bill Nye'", 4¼x3½ card. No place, 1886. To "Miss Lawrence". In full: "Regarding full dress for women let me say that while she should not think too much of her clothes, I do not believe that she ought to feel too much above her dress. Yours Truly". Edgar Wilson Nye (1850-1896), commonly known as Bill Nye, wrote a humor column for the "Boomerang", the newspaper he edited in Laramie, Wyoming. His collections of humorous remarks, such as Forty Liars and Other Lies (1882) and Bill Nye's Chestnuts, Old and New (1886) gained nationwide popularity. He was also a popular draw on the lecture circuit, a major entertainment of the day. Nye's comments included sage remarks about the West and feigned ignorance of the culture of the East and of Europe, as in "Wagner's music is better than it sounds."
