Thurston, Howard. Early Thurston TLS to Walter Peterkin. On unusual light green letterhead bearing Thurston's portrait. Thurston writes about his book, "I am not receiving any results from the "ad" and in all have only received about 35 letters resulting from the Mahatma." He goes on by saying, "I received a letter from Downs [T. Nelson Downs] saying a certain publishing firm had stolen his book and are selling a cheap edition of it in America and I have good reason to believe they are doing the same with my book." Additional comments concern his successes on stage and his route. Dated April 13, 1901, and mailed from Berlin. Signed by Thurston, and also bearing an additional notation in his hand. Chipped and worn at extremities and one small central hole, otherwise good condition. Scarce.
