Scottish author (1859–1930) whose stories featuring fictional detective Sherlock Holmes revolutionized the genre of crime fiction. Spectacular five pages of autograph notes on a seance attended by Doyle, on 5.25 x 7 light green sheets, dated January 28, 1928. Notes read, in part: “She began by saying elderly lady was there—of great dignity. Dies at 86. Coma. Young spirit. Sense of humour. Blue grey eyes. Shining face. (This applies to my mother, but her eyes were hazel) Elizabeth—(Connected on my mother’s side) untraced. Mary—my mother. Emily—possibly New Hawkins. Kingsley—speaks to me of Uncle Leslie. Also of Willie. Has young friend Alec with him. Has been helping Willie (you know who) He could not understand your attitude. Now he is anxious to get in touch with his sister….I get the name of Peter. Also Percy, and Bessie.” Rusted paperclip marks to top and bottom of pages and some spotting to top left corners, otherwise fine condition. The famed author was obsessed with spiritualism and attempted to find proof of existence beyond the grave, with these detailed notes profoundly outlining some of his beliefs of the other world.
