Thackeray, William Makepeace (1811-1863), Autograph letter signed, June 2nd, [no year], one page, recipient unknown, an answer to a query concerning reading materials, "When I was young I read everything I could lay my hands on and what I wrote was bad and poor stuff for many years-whereas some people begin to write well young - witness Mr. Dickens and Mr. Tennyson who was a great poet at 20...No instructor - only genius and industry," (good overall).
