- An autograph, signed, and undated letter written from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; contextual details identify the addressee as F. Marion Crawford and date the letter either 1891, February or 1893, March. The letter is addressed to "Dear Sir" and Robert Louis Stevenson admits he did not think very highly of Crawford's work when he first read it; he has now revised that opinion and praises Crawford's writing and career making this a "fan" letter from one celebrated author to another. On the verso of the letter is an extended signed postscript concerning music.
