CRUIKSHANK, George (1792-1865). Autograph letter to Alec Gould, signed, on two pages, headed "241 Queens Road, Battersea Park, London," dated indistinctly, stating, "My dear Alec, I herewith send your four pen and ink illustrations for Charles Dickens (at last). The price is ten Guineas [?for] the four. There is a lot of work in these as you will see. I am awfully hard up having had [?]£126-00 worth of Drawings returned too late for this year and am in a mess at my [?]Diggins so if you be the good Samaritan and send me a cheque deducting the £2-00 I had from you when you were in town I shall feel thankful ..." With another autograph letter by George Cruikshank ("... so will you do what you can as speedily as possible as I am in a really dangerous hole all joking aside ...") and a postcard from the same correspondent (" ... I am sending you four pen and ink Drawings for Dickens ..."), both to the same recipient; and another 4-page autograph letter and a 4-page autograph poem, both in an unidentified hand. (5)
