English novelist, poet, playwright, and politician (1803–1873), who originated such staple phrases as, “the great unwashed,” “pursuit of the almighty dollar,” “the pen is mightier than the sword,” and “It was a dark and stormy night...” ALS signed “E. L. Bulwer,” one page both sides, 4.5 x 7.25. In a letter scrawled in Bulwer’s hard-to-decipher hand, he writes regarding an agreement for a performance, in part: “I am very glad you liked the play. The price Mr. Fontes named to you was, I believe agreed on—600 pounds—for the performance…” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one affecting a single letter of the signature, heavy toning to the front and a bit lighter on the signed side, a small tear to the bottom of hinge of the blank second integral page, and Bulwer’s name written in pencil in another hand on the reverse of the same page.
