Wilde (Oscar).- Douglas (Lord Alfred) Autograph Letter signed to Robert Sherard, 2pp., declining to view the proofs for Sherard's upcoming biography, stating that he is satisfied in regards to Sherard's understanding of his behaviour in relation to and support of Wilde "though at one time you were misled, as many others were, by the likes of Ross, Harris & others, & even (I must add) by the misstatements Oscar himself. But now you have seen his own personal letters & you know that I gave him quite a lot of money when I left him at Naples & later" and stating that Sherard has generally treated him well "& probably given me credit for being better than I was!", 1 St. Ann's Court, Hove, 29th September, 1936, folds, hole-punches (affecting 1 word), stitch-marks and paper residue to left-hand margin; and a cheque for 10 guineas made out to Douglas by Sherard, signed by Douglas on verso, v.s. (2)*** Bosie complaining to Wilde's principal early biographer about mis-characterisations of his behaviours by Robert Ross, Frank Harris and Wilde himself. The letter and cheque both likely related to Douglas' contributions to Sherard's forthcoming Bernard Shaw, Frank Harris and Oscar Wilde (T. Wener Laurie, 1937).
