To "My dear Dr Wainwright". In full: "My very best thanks for your letter, I am much obliged for the reports. Do send me anything of the sort that comes along.

British-born Canadian educator and humorist Stephen Butler Leacock (1869-1944) chaired the Department of Economics and Political Science at McGill University for 30 years.

His best known works include his masterpiece Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912), Literary Lapses (1910), Nonsense Novels (1911) and Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich (1914). He wrote biographies of Samuel L. Clemens (1932) and Charles Dickens (1933). McGill's only child, Stephen L. Leacock, was born in 1915. His wife Trix had died in 1925. Mid-horizontal fold. Ink smudged at 1 word of writing. Slightly soiled, black border is worn at upper and upper left edges. Fine condition.
