HAGGARD H. RIDER: (1856-1925) English Novelist of adventure stories including King Solomon's Mines. A.L.S., H. Rider Haggard, two pages, 8vo, Cork Street, London (although on the printed stationery of Ditchingham House, Bungay and featuring his hieroglyph monogram), n.d., to [St. John] Hankin. Haggard expresses his thanks to his correspondent and remarks 'I'm glad you think it interesting. I don't see why one should not get some post of the sort - if only the backing is forthcoming from those interested. It depends enormously on the Press. If the Press will really take it up - as I see the Daily Mail has done - perhaps something will happen. Certainly it is time it did'. In a postscript Haggard adds 'All the objections made - that I have seen - on behalf of the Railways &c can be answered'. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, otherwise VG St. John Emile Clavering Hankin (1869-1909) English essayist and playwright.
