Item description from seller

- 89 words typed on a sheet of his gray personalized letterhead, 5 inches high by 8 inches wide, with his address printed down the right margin. Signed "Guido Bruno". Folded once for mailing. Near fine. Bruno's letter is sending examples of his work to a "Mr. Fuller". We speculate that this might be Buckminster Fuller, who was not yet an architect at this time and who lived in Greenwich Village and knew the same people and frequented the same clubs and bars as Guido Bruno. "Here then you have the result of your imprudent praize [sic] of a writer's work. It should you [sic] teach you a lesson, never to encourage a scribbler's vanity. The few little volumes may amuse you for a few minutes, whenever you find time to glanze [sic] through their pages."Guido Bruno [1884-1942], who at this date had moved to Ridley Park, Pennsylvania where his adopted daughter lived, was a well known Greenwich Village character and small-press publisher, sometimes called "the Barnum of Bohemia". He was based at his "Garret on Washington Square" where tourists could pay an admission fee to observe "genuine Bohemian" artists at work. From the garret he published little magazines such as Bruno's Weekly, Bruno's Monthly, Bruno's Bohemia and Bruno Chap Books. Among authors he published were Alfred Kreymborg, Djuna Barnes, Marianne Moore, Alfred Douglas and Sadakichi Hartmann. He was also a close associate of Frank Harris. For a brief time he operated the Little Thimble Theater with Charles Edison.
