427. HENRY JAMES (1843-1916) American author of The Awkward Age and The Turn of the Screw, among any novels. Good content A.L.S. "Henry James" on his Lam House letterhead, 2pp. 8vo., Aug. 30, 1906, to Mrs. Louisa C. Walsh. In part: "I have rejoiced to hear from you so appreciatively & also of your own duples prosperity by which I don't accuse you of duplicity, But I am much upset by seeing... the enclosed in this a.m.'s... Nettie Rodger's death on Monday last... I have wired to Katie & incline to believe her brother, Rob, must be with them. If the end had been foreseen, he is pretty sure to be there & she had long been gravely ill..." Letter ends at top of recto with a full signature. Accompanied by original transmittal envelope, addressed in James' hand. Very good. $200-300
