525H. Rider Haggard: ALS from this writer to the Editor of The Spectator comprised of fi ve double sided pages responding in detail to a review of 'She' that evidently featured in that publication (possibly that featured in the archived Spectator issue of 15th. January 1887 although more detailed study would be required to confi rm this). The letter is carefully tipped into the rear of a well-used copy of 'She' - which is probably a 1st. Ed. There is also a manuscript transcription of Andrew Lang's poem 'She' (dedicated to H.R.H.) written on the Half Title page - thus refl ecting the association between the two men. No date appears with either manuscript and there is no other indication of the provenance of the volume.
