Background

Scope and content:

The Richard Le Gallienne Collection consists of three letters by the English author and poet and a manuscript poem. The earliest, from December of 1893, is written from Mluberry Cottage in Boston and addressed to Frederick Locker-Lampson (poet, bibliophile) in Sussex, England, shortly after the birth of Le Gallienne's daughter; it includes a brief quatrain on Le Gallienne's feelings about his books. The second, dated April of 1895, is addressed to "My dear Waugh" and concerns a piece Le Gallienne was working on called "The Burial of Romeo and Juliet." The third, written from Woodstock, New York and dated 1926, is to G. [George?] A. Van Nosdall about some unspecified work; the envelope, attached inside the front cover of a copy of The Compleat Angler edited by Le Gallienne, is also included.

The fourth sheet is undated and contains the manuscript of a poem. Although the handwriting is distinctly different from that of the letters, the manuscript is signed "Richard Le Gallienne" at the end.
