About this Item

- An autograph note penned on Margaret Deland's 3-1/4 inch high by 5-1/8 inch wide card signed, with her address printed at the top. Responding to a request by an admirer for her autograph, the author has penned "Written for Elinor Schloss - 'Consider the Stars' - Margaret Deland - March 27th 1933". There is offsetting to the bottom and left edges of the card and remnants of tape on the verso. Very good.Together with an 85 word typed letter signed by Margaret Deland's long-time friend and secretary Alice Rollins which accompanied the autographed card. In her letter, typed on 7 inch high by 5-1/2 inch wide creamy white paper, Alice Rollins explains: "The words 'Consider the Stars' which Mrs. Deland has written on this card, she says help her to see things in their right proportion: when we consider the universe, especially as we observe the heavens and think of the immensity of space, our own troubles and worries seem less important". There is a chip to the right edge and there is offsetting to the left and bottom edges of the letter. There are remnants of tape on the verso, likely from having once been mounted in an album. Very good. Margaret Deland [1857-1945] was an American novelist, short story writer and poet. She also wrote an autobiography in two volumes.
