Three items: ALS on an off-white lightly-lined sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper. To admirer Reverend Ward. In full: “Thank you for your precious letter. I’m very pleased to have given you so much pleasure that you had to leave the library. Cartoons are sometimes accused of being cruel. I don’t feel it in myself & I guess that if I can make a clergyman laugh, my work can’t be too unholy”; two hardcover books: About People, signed and inscribed in black felt tip on the first free end page, “For William Ward, William Steig”; and Persistent Faces, signed and inscribed in black felt tip on the the first free end page, “For William Ward, William Steig.” In good to very good condition, with heavy wear to About People, with almost total separation from the hinge and uniform paper loss to the spine, paper loss to the spine and corners of Persistent Faces, and uniform toning to the pages. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
