Letters of Sir Hall Caine, 1895-1928.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53971310

Caine writes to S.S. McClure, 1895 July 12, requesting that Robert Harborough Sherard do a character sketch of him rather than an interview. In a letter to D. Appleton Company, 1895 October 3, he explains that he cannot give an answer to an invitation until he has decided whether or not to accept Major James Burton Pond's offer of a lecture tour. In a letter to S.S. McClure, 1896 February 11, he attributes his tardy reply to work on his new book. He discusses his tentative plans to complete a life of Christ which he wants to discuss with William Holman Hunt and Frederic Shields, and his decision on a publisher and on accepting Major Pond's world tour offer. He briefly mentions his purchase of Greeba Castle. The collection also contains an autograph for Isabel Booth, 1928 September 19.
