STEVENSON ROBERT LOUIS: (1850-1894) Scottish Novelist of Treasure Island, Kidnapped and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A.L.S., Robert Louis Stevenson, two pages, small 8vo, n.p. (Paris), 19th January 1877, to Walter L. Palmer. Stevenson writes an intriguing letter seeking a private meeting with Palmer and states, in full, 'I shall be obliged to you for an early interview. I have called on you already this morning; I shall call again after four this afternoon; and should I be again unfortunate, I should be glad to hear from you when you will be in the house, or where else I can conveniently speak with you alone. I am, Sir, your obedient servant'. Some light staining and wear to the folds (professionally and neatly repaired) only very slightly affecting a few words of text, but not the signature. G Stevenson's correspondent is most likely to have been Walter Launt Palmer (1854-1932) American Impressionist Painter. Palmer was in Paris in 1876-77 where he was studying with Carolus-Duran and encountered the artist colony of Grez-sur-Loing with Stevenson. The Scottish novelist was in Paris in early 1877 with his future wife, Fanny Osbourne, and spent much of the following year in the company of his lover and her two children.
