Typescript With Hand Corrections
Elbert Hubbard A Left Handed Saint. Eight single-sided pages. 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Bound at the left margin, laid into a chemise and inserted into a custom slipcase. Fine condition.This remarkable draft is for Hubbard's short story about Jimmie Durkin, a Spokane, Washington saloon owner, liquor tycoon, millionaire and philosopher. The pages are rife with Hubbard's penciled corrections and notations and give the reader a unique insight into his writing process. Accompanying the typescript is a one-page typed explanatory narrative dated January 26, 1927 and signed by Elbert Hubbard II. The narrative gives a brief outline of the senior Hubbard's writing process and goes on to state "This particular piece of manuscript, 'A Left Handed Saint' is an original. It is absolutely the first copy and the corrections and additions that have been put upon it in long hand in pencil and ink were done by Mr. Hubbard, himself." A wonderful and rare item.
