The artist whose turn-of-the-century woman became an icon known as the ''Christy Girl'' signs, ''Howard Chandler Christy'' to an autograph letter dated 13 October 1909. The 2pp. letter reads in part, ''...I find your stamped and addressed envelope among my unanswered letters, and cannot find the letter which should accompany it. So I do not know what your request is, but as I get a great many requests for autographs, I send this at random...'' Written upon card-style letterhead with his ''The Barracks'' address. 4.75'' x 7.75''. Very good.
