Journalist (1849–1912), assistant editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, and founder of The Review of Reviews who perished in the Titanic disaster. Two items: an AQS signed "William T. Stead," one page, 4.25 x 6.5, February 4, 1903, in full: "'If you can do nothing else for your friend think kindly of him for the kind thought of a friend is as the angel of God carrying a benediction to the Soul.' Letters from India"; and a TLS signed "W. T. Stead," one page, 8 x 5.5, The Review of Reviews letterhead, in full: "I am much obliged to you for your letter, and would be very glad to write if I had time to do my own work, but at present I am so driven that I cannot undertake to comply with your request." In fine condition, with show-through from mounting remnants to the corners of the typed letter.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
