http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82321124

Two handwritten and signed letters. One is dated 5 Sept. 1894 and is addressed to "Dear Sir" (probably Barton O. Aylesworth) in which Burroughs responds to a request for biographical information. Also included is an envelope probably in which the item was sent. The other letter is dated 2 April of an unspecified year and is addressed to "Miss Gertrude Stroham" (?) in which Burroughs tells her she may quote certain passages from his works. Also with the collection are two autographs by Burroughs dated 2 Jan. 1894 and 25 Nov. 1912, a brief biography of Burroughs, and eleven portraits of him clipped from magazines.

17 items (18 pages) ; 25 x 16 cm. and smaller + 16 photocopies.
