Henri LEFEVRE PONTALIS, qui fait un petit voyage en Amérique, à visiter vos usines. Je crois qu´il ne peut rien faire de plus intéressant et de plus instructif que la visite de vos usines...´ (Translation: "...I would like to ask you to allow my nephew, Mr. Henri LEFEVRE PONTALIS, who is making a short trip to America, to visit your factories. I believe that he cannot do anything more interesting and instructive than visiting your factories...") Further again and before concluding, Renault expresses his wish to meet again his correspondent, stating `J´espère que si vous venez à Paris, vous me ferez l´amitié de me signaler votre passage, car je serais heureux de vous revoir...´ (Translation: "I hope that if you come to Paris, you will do me the kindness of letting me know you are passing by, because I would be happy to see you again...") With blank integral leaf. Accompanied by the original envelope addressed to "Monsieur FORD, at DETROIT, U.S.A". VG

A very good A.L.S., `Maurice Ravel´, signed twice, signing also to the verso `Conducteur Ravel automobile déplacé ´, one page, 12mo, being a French card-letter, Paris, 16th March 1917, to Roland Levy, brigadier, in French. At the time of the present letter, war-time, Ravel had joined the Thirteenth Artillery Regiment as a lorry driver, and for this reason he annotates as sender to the verso, `Conducteur´ ("Driver"). Ravel refers in a funny way to his correspondent´s harem, stating `Heureux que vous soyez satisfait du gardien de votre Harem. Je tâcherai - si j´ose moi-même ainsi parler - de me maintenir à la hauteur de ma nouvelle situation. Vous savez que cette attraction sensationelle - un Harem présenté, en toute liberrté... - devait figurer à l´unique concert de la SMI, dans une salle des quartiers de l´Europe, bien entendu. Maintenant que nous donnons 3 séances, je ne sais à laquelle on doit placer ce... numéro... ne vous en faites pas pour le turban de la sultane...´ (Translation: "Glad that you're satisfied with the guardian of your Harem. I'll try - if I dare say so myself - to live up to my new situation. You know that this sensational amusement - a Harem presented, in complete freedom... - was to be featured at the only concert of the SMI, in a hall in the European quarters, of course. Now that we're giving 3 performances, I don't know where we should place this... number... don't worry about the Sultana's turban...") Further Ravel refers to a burial and to his own health, saying in part `Je regrette de ne m´être pas trouvé au cortège de Suzanne... Ce jour-là, et ceux qui l´ont précédé, j´étais couché. Je le suis encore, nonobstant que j´en ai marre...´ (Translation: "I regret not having been at Susanna's funeral procession... That day, and those that preceded it, I was in bed. I still am, despite the fact that I'm fed up with it...") Small overall age wear, with few very small professional repairs, otherwise G
WELLS H.G.: (1866-1946) English writer, remembered for his science fiction novels. An interesting A.L.S., H. G. Wells, four pages, 8vo, Spade House, Sandgate (Kent), 25th June 1904, to [John] Brisben Walker. Wells expresses his regret at a misunderstanding that has arisen between his correspondent and an individual named Parker (apparently Wells´s American agent), remarking ´It is my opinion that an author should give his mind to his writing and not to the details of publication and so forth, and so I have done my best to keep clear of these complications´, continuing ´I feel that there must have been a misconnection in the matter of "Mankind in the Making" for example, which, cut up as it was, was neither good for the Cosmopolitan nor myself. I understood from Parker that you had agreed to buy all my output for the period (with the right to sell it again) covered by the agreement between us. Was this not so? If it was, were you under any misconception as to the nature of that prospective output? I have an idea that you must have been. If you were, I am anxious to put things straight between us. In matters of corn and pork and such like commodities a bargain is a bargain, but if you were under the impression that what I was writing was all matter after the style of The War of the Worlds, it is natural that you should regard Kipps as not after the sample´ and further stating ´There is, I understand, a considerable sum due to me upon what has already been used in the Cosmopolitan. I do not see what this has to do with Kipps, and I find some difficulty in discussing Kipps with this other issue unsettled. Were all the prior matters closed I would at the present moment write and cancel our agreement as far as Kipps is concerned. But of course if some detestable hitch is to arise about all that other money, I suppose I must also press my claim in the matter of Kipps´, adding that he finds the whole business unsavoury, and concluding ´I dislike the idea of forcing my writings upon anyone who does not want them and I hate the spirit that has come into all these transactions. In the past I have been crudely victimised by both editors and publishers, or I should not have Mr. Parker entering between editors and myself. Even now, if I may do it without prejudice to any subsequent negotiations and proceedings, I will, say, make a full and complete settlement for "Mankind in the Making" and "The Force of the Gods" and I will take back Kipps. In the future I shall take care that Mr. Parker concludes no bargains except for work finished, done and shown. It is the selling of unwritten books that lies at the root of all this trouble´. A letter of fine literary content illustrating the dilemmas Wells faced with editors and the publication of his work. Some light age wear, traces of former mounting the upper edges of the second and third pages, and with a lengthy, neat split to the head of the central vertical fold in the bifolium, GJohn Brisben Walker (1847-1931) American magazine publisher and automobile entrepreneur who owned the Cosmopolitan from 1889, transforming it into a literary magazine. Today the magazine exists as a quarterly fashion and entertainment magazine for women.Wells´s science fiction novel The War of the Worlds was first serialised in America in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1897, before being published in book form the following year. Of the other works Wells makes reference to in the present letter, it is perhaps Kipps that is most famous. Wells had worked on the novel for seven years and completed the manuscript as it now exists in May 1904, the month prior to writing to Walker. Although Kipps eventually became one of Wells's most successful novels, at first it was slow to sell. While 12,000 copies had been sold by the end of 1905, more than a quarter of a million had been sold by the 1920s.
