Letter from Smith to Albert Johannsen. by Smith, Jessie Wilcox Autograph letter from Smith (1863-1935) to collector Albert Johannsen. Postmarked September 29, 1912. A reply to Johannsen's request for Smith's illustration of the Dickens character Tiny Tim. Johannsen was noted for his collection of Dickensia. Smith advised Johannsen that the illustration had been sold the previous winter. Johannsen evidently sought the illustration published in Dickens's Children (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1912).
