Handwritten Signed Letter S.L. Clemens (Mark Twain) - $60K APR w/CoA

Description: Handwritten Signed Letter S.L. Clemens (Mark Twain) & Life Magazine Cover - $60K APR w/CoA ITEM DESCRIPTION:Here we have a rare and historically significant signed handwritten letter by Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain—one of America's most renowned writers, humorists, and essayists. Often hailed as "the greatest humorist the United States has produced," Twain's literary contributions earned him the title of "father of American literature" from William Faulkner. This letter, written on April 5, 1899, in Vienna, is addressed to "Miss Harrison," who was the private secretary to Henry Huttleston Rogers, a powerful American industrialist and financier known for his leadership in Standard Oil and his close friendship with Clemens. The letter reads:Vienna, April 5th 1899"Dear Miss Harrison, Please send ‘Wapping Alice’ to Mr. Walker, greatly obliged. Sincerely yours, S.L. Clemens." The "Mr. Walker" referenced is John Brisbane Walker, owner of Cosmopolitan magazine from 1889 until its sale to William Randolph Hearst in 1905. The "Wapping Alice" mentioned in the letter refers to an unpublished story by Clemens, based on an actual event in 1877 when a maid in his household triggered a burglar alarm, revealing her secret lover and unfolding into a dramatic tale, later fictionalized by Clemens. Despite attempts, Clemens never succeeded in publishing this controversial and satirical tale during his lifetime. The letter is presented in a beautifully framed and matted display, accompanied by a December 1968 Life Magazine cover featuring Mark Twain, capturing the essence of this great literary figure. The piece also comes with a PSA certificate of authentication, ensuring its genuineness and adding further value to its historical importance. This extraordinary item, combining Clemens' handwriting, literary history, and a fascinating anecdote, would make an exceptional addition to any serious collection of Americana, literary memorabilia, or historical documents.
