Beloved British author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll (1832–1898). ALS signed “C. L. Dodgson,” one page, 7 x 4.5, October 23, 1890. Dodgson writes from Oxford to Mrs. Dyer in violet ink. In full: “I enclose 6/ for the book I overlooked, of Whittome’s. Also 1 1/2 d. for postage of letter. Also envelope for you to acknowledge its receipt. I hope you have filled up your house again.” After signing, Dodgson adds a postscript on the reverse: “I shall be interested to know whether you get that picture or not; & whether it turns out be worth paying for a frame for.” Several vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, a few other creases, and a bit of mild soiling. Carroll initially intended for Sylvie and Bruno to be published in one volume. However, due to its length, it was divided into two volumes, published in 1889 and 1893.
