I am so very glad you both like the history. If he cares to blue pencil any of it I should be very interested. I sent him a copy out to France of this number'. In addition to his famed Sherlock Holmes tales, Doyle wrote a number of volumes on military history. British officer Barnett D. L. G.

Autograph Letter Signed, in German, two pages 4to, Berlin, November, 3, 1830. A lengthy, rare letter to Johann Martin Daniel Wohlfahrt, priest in Gehren, Uckermark, (1773-1837). This priest was looking for someone who had finished his exams and wanted to get a job as a house teacher. Hegel recommends Mr. Boos. "I am very grateful that you thought of me and showed me your benevolence in your kind writing of the 15th of last month. Following your wish, I looked around for a student who had just graduated and who was willing to assume a position as elementary teacher. Mr. Boos, who had been previously unknown to me, is said to be a bright and decent young man of flawless behaviour and lively character, and he comes highly recommended. His sensible, respectable demeanour, lacking all pretence, confirmed this description to me. He believes himself up to the task of teaching music but no French. If I may say so, the expectations are significant compared to the salary. He will write to Your Honour himself, or has no doubt done so already. I hope that the situation will continue to develop to your and your patron's satisfaction and ask you to leave any further requests to me. With my respect to Your Honour’s kindness". Signed, "Your servant, Prof. Hegel.” This letter is written in bold ink, causing one small burn whole in the paper. It also has one clean tear in part of the text, but no text is missing. With integral address leaf. A superb and rare letter, written late in life when he was rector in a Berlin school. Here he is recommending a student and discusses the traits that would satisfy a Priest. Letters by Hegel are rare. (WOHE10)
