    Description

    A. Conan Doyle. Autograph Letter, Signed. [London]: June 27, [18]92. Original letter on 12, Tennison Road stationery.
    A. Conan Doyle. Autograph Letter Inviting an Unknown Addressee to Sunday Lunch. South Norwood, London: unpublished correspondence, June 27, 1892. Signed. Single leaf of "12, Tennison Road" (Doyle's residence) letterhead, with holograph letter on recto. Doyle writes: "London is (as you may have already found out) a very good place to be out of on a Sunday. I hope that you will come out and lunch with us this next one." He proceeds to give instructions to his home, adding, "I hope you'll be able to manage it. Messrs Lippincott and Kimball did it the other day." Three horizontal creases running width of sheet, from folding; minor soiling from handling; taped along left edge to an additional, more recent sheet of paper, the verso of which is rubbed with a penciled note and tape or paste residue; tape splitting from either end but sound for now. Near fine.
