William Makepeace Thackeray letters, 1855.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/465058809

Two autograph notes, probably written during Thackeray's stay in New York in 1855. The first, which is unsigned, is written on the back of a printed card reading: "Philolexian Society / Metropolitan Theatre / Tuesday evening, December 6th 1855." It contains instructions for items to be brought to "Mr. Davis's Houston Street," and was most likely to Charles Pearman, Thackeray's valet and secretary. The second item, which is dated Nov. 9/55 in another hand, is to "Mr. Grant" (probably Seth Hastings Grant, librarian of the Mercantile Library). Thackeray asks for assistance in finding material pertinent to his research on George IV, and requests two books. It is signed with his initials.
