[ Autograph ] Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch 1836-1895 German novelist whose works contained references to sexual abnormalities and whose name was given to the condition, masochism. Good content A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo., Gratz, Jan. 26, 1873 in German. In part: '...I was very pleased[that you] inform me of the acceptance of my Asthetik des Hasslichen'and its upcoming publication. I wrote this novel with the special dedication and for this reason I incessantly wish to see it published in the Monatshefte'- the only one today to hold an audiencefor such deep and delicate things. It is of great joy to me that thiscomes true. I will invite Hammerling to collaborate ...thank you for remitting the fees for 'Eine Frau auf Vorposten'...l write so willingly for your publication that I will continue to do so [for lower fees]...' A few notes on verso of last page, otherwise very good.
