19744No place Dublin Ireland . 15 August no year . 1p. 4to. In fair condition aged and worn. The breaking open of the wafer has resulted in slight loss at the beginning of Maturin's signature. Addressed on reverse to 'William Spooner Esqre at Mr Millikin's Grafton Street'. His not writing of 'Dublin' implies that he is writing from the same place. Maturin was the great-uncle of Oscar Wilde who adopted the name 'Sebastian Melmoth' during his self-exile on the continent. A short but piquant letter reading: 'Dear Sir I enclose Sir Walter Scott's friendly letter - As authentic biography is more interesting than fictitious I will send you a memoir of my own family the events in which are as romantic as those in any tale with the advantage of being true - Sincerely yours <C.> R. Maturin August 15th.' No place [ Dublin, Ireland ]. 15 August [ no year ]. unknown
