Marsh, Richard, -1915, 1899 November-1900 October. 1 folder.
Scope and Contents

18 signed autograph letters from Marsh concerning the arrangements for his novel, A Second Coming, published by Richards in 1900. The letters offer a revealing and somewhat acrimonious correspondence, most often about money matters. At one point, Marsh threatens to involve his solicitors to force the payment of royalties. One of the last letters written a few months after the book was published acknowledges that the reviews thus far had been poor.
