ALS, one page, faintly-lined, 6 x 9.25, Post-Dispatch letterhead, April 19, 1882. Letter to William Henry Smith. In part: “I never got your book on St. Clair and wish you would send it. Will you be in Chicago next week? And next? I intend to run up and don’t want to miss you again. Please let me know, as I am anxious to to [sic] see about some matter.” In very good condition, with creasing to left edge and thin toning along right edge, a couple small edge tears to lower left, and a bit of scattered light soiling. Accompanied by a three-page secretarial ALS, bearing a secretarial signature as well, dated October 8, 1901, written to Colonel William Hester, president of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Pulitzer served as editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from 1878 to 1883, and by the time of this correspondence had helped establish a profitable newspaper with a large readership. It was also during his tenure there that Pulitzer became a champion of the common man via hard-hitting journalism. A succinct letter from the man whose name is synonymous with journalistic integrity.
