SAMUEL R. CROCKETT
Shortly after publication of his first novel, Crockett regretfully declines an invitation from an association.
Autograph Letter signed twice: "SR Crockett", "SRC", 1 page, 6¼x8. Bank House, Penicuick, Midlothian [Scotland], 1894 October 22. To "Dear Mr. Seau", in full: "I kept your letter by me for a day or two to see if I could arrange to get away. I am horribly sorry I can't manage it. It is a huge honour and so I feel it. I shall be in the 'deio thraws' [?] of an Ayrshire book which is to follow 'The Men of the Moss Hags' in the Graphic here & Harper's in America. I may be in Ayr some week before long & may see you. Pray convey to the Association my heartiest greetings. [signature] P.S. I have seen nothing of the Cowpers since Mr. Cowper's death, but I hear that they are all well & doing first rate. [initials]. Samuel Rutherford Crockett (1859-1915) left the ministry to devote full time to writing folksy, sentiment novels about life in his native Scotland. The first of these, The Stickit Minister, appeared in 1893. His third novel, The Men of the Moss Hags, mentioned in this letter, was published in 1895. Toned at edges. Mailing fold through center. Edges lightly frayed. Otherwise, fine condition.
