ANDERSON, John Henry (1814 - 74). Great Wizard of the North ANS. Circa 1855. Four pages on mourning stationery (one folded quarto sheet), entirely in the hand of the great Scottish conjurer and possibly a promissory note or receipt tendered to a pay office regarding a performance of Anderson. The note bears his signature on the first page, and reads in part, “… John Henry Anderson Presents his Compliments to the pay clerk of the [?] P. O. O. Department in Newcastle P. O. and hope [?] to state this just [?] - you have [two previous words crossed out] executed your duty … (here w[ith] me in Sheffield)… and a report to the Post Master General Music Hall Sheffield.” Rear panel blank, with old folds and four tiny mounting remnants to blank portion, else very good. RARE; only the second Anderson letter we have offered for sale.
