British writer (1870–1945) who first came to prominence in the 1890s as the young intimate companion of Oscar Wilde. After Douglas’s father, Lord Queensbury, accused Wilde of being a “somdomite” [sic], Wilde filed the libel lawsuit that led to his own conviction and two-year prison term. ALS, one page on a postcard of Shelley’s Folly, 3.5 x 5.5, October 26, 1918. A letter to a gentleman written on the reverse of a postcard. In full: “In reply to your letter which has been following me about I will send you a copy of the little booklet by N…about myself as soon as I get back home to Shelley’s Folly Lewes (the home on this card). I shall be back there next week. I am obliged to your kind remarks about my poetry & the Academy. I wish I had it now!” In fine condition, with a few creases. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Douglas’ hand.
