Description
Acton (Sir Harold, aesthete and author, 1904-94) 3 Autograph Letters signed to John Merrell, 3pp. & envelopes, folio, La Pietra, Florence, 18th December 1969 - 7th June 1970, on writing a bibliography of Acton, "While I am flattered that you should wish to produce my bibliography. I am aware that I am too unpopular to make it worth printing. I am treated by reviewers as if I were some sort of dodo - or a callous egoist indifferent to 'starving peasants and war-torn Vietnam'. So why take so much trouble? I am not worth it", and other subjects, "Yes, T.J. Wise had his merits, especially as a forger. Someone ought to write a novel about him or his peculiar mentality", folds.
