American writer (1860–1938) best known for his Western novel The Virginian. Two TLSs, one page each on 8.25 x 11, 328 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania letterhead, and each addressed to an editor of the Boston, Massachusetts publication, Youth’s Companion, dated 1903 and 1904. Wister passes on the work of an aspiring writer “whose integrity can be answered for,” and in the other letter, affirms that, “I think I understand perfectly, and I think you will have my article within ten days.”; and an ink signature, “Owen Wister, Oct. 8, 1902,” on an off-white slip. Matted with a small portrait of Wister to an overall size of 7 x 10. Intersecting folds, uniform toning, and a pencil notation to the top of one of the letters, otherwise fine condition.
