John Howard Payne author, playwright, actor, Diplomat. ALS, June 7, 1840 on plain light blue stationery to Joseph Goldsborough Bruff. The author of Home! Sweet Home rejects a drawing offered by the artist. Bruff would achieve some fame for his drawings and stories of the western gold miners as well as his skills as a cartographer. But that would all be later. His early work apparently did not impress Payne who had already achieved notoriety for his acting and the song Home! Sweet Home . After offering some criticism of a sketch offered by mutual friends, Payne writes All these things considered, I have thought you would rather be obliged to me for not sending it where it would meet critical eyes, accustomed to the most finished & refined sights. Ouch. The letter has typical folds, the adjoining cover sheet is address in Payne s hand and there is small loss of paper on the blank sheet from the intact wax seal. It might be worth some additional research to learn if Bruff s work was revised and included in some of Payne s work. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 5580
