STEVENSON, ROBERT LOUIS. Autograph letter signed (in full) TO MARY MAPES DODGE, n.p., n.d. 1 page 8vo, on tan paper, integral blank leaf. THE AUTHOR OF "TREASURE ISLAND" TO THE AUTHOR OF "HANS BRINKER" "I have been far from well, all my plans are gone to water, and I must ask you to let things stand over indefinitely [regarding proposed stories by Stevenson for St. Nicholas , a juvenile magazine edited by Dodge]. Indeed I can never find myself: for my health is a snare, and my work at the mercy of my inclination. If the tales come off, you shall have them, as they come off. Were I to say more, I should lead you on the ice and plunge myself into hot water." Provenance : Anonymous owner (sale, Swann Galleries, 24 June 1982, lot 463).
