BANGS, John Kendrick (1862-1922)

Autograph Letter Signed

This American humorist and lecturer edited many of the country's most popular humor magazines such as "Puck" and later produced many plays and novels such as "A House-Boat on the Styx" (1895), "Coffee and Repartee" (1893) and "The Idiot" (1895). ALS, 1p (lettersheet), 8" X 10", Yonkers, NY, 6 September 1897. Addressed to Miss Strong. Near fine. Faint original folds. On pale blue imprinted letterhead, Bangs replies cordially and of course humorously to a request from an admirer. In part: "..I have been resting for a month from the arduous duties which devolve upon those who write autographs for a living. I am very glad indeed to begin my work for the seasons new opening by sending my note to you for your collection. I am a collector myself and am most sympathetic when I meet with other sufferers." Attractively penned in brown ink. A lovely, charming example. .
