1 Autographed Letter Signed (copy) dated 11/09/1877 from Julian Hawthorne to McCorquodale & Co. setting out the details of the failed contract between himself and Alexander Strahan for the writing and publication of the novel "Garth" which led to his indebtedness to McCorquodale & Co. for the amount of 250 pounds.

Sent from Way's End, Twickenham, England.
