Other than some minor creases to extremities and a paperclip rustmark in the margins of two drawings, the lot is in fine condition. Also included are 44 leaves of hand- sketched musical notation that were used throughout the book for illustrations. Miscellaneous. Small lot of four letters to JFD, all dated 1932, from Louise Girvan, Henry Meyer, ? Rourke, and Walter R. Smith praising the book.

13. [WRIGHT, Solomon Alexander]. My Rambles as East Texas Cowboy, Hunter, Fisherman, Tie-Cutter. [Austin: Printed by Carl Hertzog for TFLS, 1942]. Arranged with an introduction by JFD. See McVicker B47. Typescript. 266 leaves. Heavy corrections by JFD throughout. [With]: Typescript carbon, revised draft. 201 leaves. Also included is the following correspondence: 14 typed letters signed and one autograph letter signed from Carl Hertzog to JFD dated between June 3 and October 5, 1942, accompanied by 5 typed carbons of JFD’s letters to Hertzog. Included with the letters is a hand-sketched chapter page mock-up by Hertzog, and a proof of an illustration used in the book. 13 typed carbons by JFD to various family members of Solomon Wright seeking information about the family (including 2 letters to Solomon Wright), accompanied by 12 typed and autograph letters to JFD from various family members. Solomon Wright died in May of 1937 leaving his reminiscences unpublished. JFD, who had briefly corresponded with him about publication of the manuscript, later edited it for use by the Texas Folklore Society. The extent of JFD’s editing, rewriting, and arranging of the manuscript is made clear in the original typescript draft. JFD writes Carl Hertzog: “This old timer’s reminiscences are so wordy that I am having to recast nearly every paragraph.” The Hertzog-JFD correspondence is superb. Hertzog goes into much detail on his design and production methods as well as the state of his business at the time. JFD and Hertzog discuss the feasibility of using Tom Lea as the artist for the book (Lea being overseas, serving the war effort). JFD’s title-page for the first draft even lists Lea as illustrator. When Lea was unavailable, they eventually settled on B. E. Lewis. The close friendship of Hertzog and JFD makes for an insightful series of letters.
14. [BENEDICT, Carl Peters]. Introduction to Carl Benedict’s A Tenderfoot Kid on Gyp Water. [Austin: TFLS, 1943]. Typescript. 7 leaves. JFD’s corrections throughout. See McVicker B48.

Correspondence
PLEASE NOTE: For other important J. Frank Dobie correspondence see items 13 and 14.
249. J. Frank Dobie--Dudley Dobie Correspondence, 1928- 1964. 262 typed or autograph letters, 139 postcards, and 21 autograph notes from JFD to DRD. Most envelopes are present. Also included are carbons of 160 letters sent by DRD to JFD. JFD shared a love of the Southwest with his cousin, Dudley Dobie. Dudley became a book dealer in Texana and Western Americana in the early 30’s and over time supplied important items for JFD’s extensive collection. The correspondence, which spans 36 years until JFD’s death in 1964, centers around their common interest in the gathering of rare and forgotten material on the Southwest. The tenaciousness of JFD as a collector and his opinions on various subjects--including other writers’ works--abound in the letters. There is much information on his own writings
Dorothy Sloan Books – Catalogue 10/1 (3/93) too, beginning with Coronado’s Children in 1930. Because of the long time span of the correspondence, a great deal of biographical material is present. JFD’s relationship with Dudley, who was fifteen years his junior, had paternalistic overtones from the earliest correspondence until JFD’s death. JFD never hesitated to give Dudley his advice and opinions on matters ranging from books to family, whether Dudley asked for the advice or not. Dudley’s tendency to react strongly at times to such impositions produced some spirited correspondence over the years--especially late in JFD’s life. The carbons of Dudley’s letters to JFD add a completeness to the correspondence rarely found in an archive spanning such a length of time.
250. J. Frank Dobie--Victor J. Smith Correspondence, 1922- 1936. 37 typed and autograph letters of JFD to Victor J. Smith, accompanied by 21 typed carbons of letters from Smith to JFD. Most of the correspondence dates from 1922- 1927. Victor J. Smith was a professor in the Department of Vocational Education at Sul Ross Teachers College. He was an early member of the Texas Folklore Society and contributor to the Society’s first few publications. The correspondence illuminates JFD’s growing interest in the study of folklore and his active involvement in development of the Texas Folklore Society. There is much biographical information, including a good deal about JFD’s move to the University of Oklahoma in 1923 to become head of the English Department.
251. J. Frank Dobie Letters--Miscellaneous Correspondence, 1918-1964. 50 letters, the majority in carbon with a few originals. Most date from the 1950’s and 1960’s. Some of the carbons have holograph annotations by JFD. It was JFD’s custom to send carbons of his particularly interesting letters to DRD. Many of the letters contain extensive biographical information as JFD recalls details of his younger days to a variety of people. His opinions and feelings about himself and others are present in abundance. Among the recipients of JFD’s letters are Price Daniel, Jr., Jeff Dykes, Carl Hertzog, Angus Cameron, Jack Reynolds, Lon Tinkle, Arthur Woodward, Cap Yates, and Jake Zeitlin.
252. J. Frank Dobie--Recipient with Response Letters. 58 letters from various people, 1928-1963, accompanied by a carbon of JFD’s response. The majority of letters date
Dorothy Sloan Books – Catalogue 10/1 (3/93) from 1935-1955. Many of the letters are from friends or acquaintances, and JFD’s responses are full of opinions and information. A letter from an old friend, Ruth Dodson, elicited a detailed response within which he writes: “My chief business for the past several months has been rewriting a lot of Frank Dobie stories going into a kind of anthology. The selections were made by one of my ancient pupils, Isabel Gaddis of Cotulla. I substituted a good deal of what was selected. I found that nearly everything I’d written needed changing.”
253. J. Frank Dobie--Recipient. Miscellaneous correspondence, 1935-1964. 80 typed and holograph letters (12 carbon copies). Included are interesting letters from J. B. Gillett, Will James, Asa Jones, Rockwell Kent, Tom Lea, and Tex Willis, among others. In a original two-page letter dated October 24, 1928, J. B. Gillett (author of Six Years with the Texas Rangers) writes: “Most of those old gun fighters like Wild Bill, Ben Thompson, Wes Hardin, and Bat Masterson generally fought their battles in a bar room or gambling house and were never more than five to ten feet from the man they were shooting at and, of course, just pulled their pistol, shoved it up against their victim and touched it off. No need to aim it.”
254. J. Frank Dobie Family Correspondence, 1907-1948. 41 postcards from JFD to his sister, Mattie, and 12 postcards to his sister, Fannie, contained in 3 postcard albums (1907-1913). The albums have many other cards from various family members. Also in the collection are 4 postcards from JFD to relatives while stationed in France during WWI (1918), and 4 letters to his mother (1939-1948). The postcards to his sisters are undoubtedly some of the earliest substantial JFD correspondence extant, written while he was in college at Southwestern and shortly after. The cards briefly relate college experiences and travels to cities such as San Antonio and Chicago. One photo postcard dated March 15, 1907, shows a picture of JFD and some of his friends in front of the mess hall at Southwestern. He identifies his “old lady” (roommate) and another good friend. Included in the letters to his mother is an excellent five- page letter from 1939. In it JFD talks at length about a visit to the Wichita Forest Wildlife Refugee. In a another letter from 1948 JFD writes: “I may get my book manuscript off tomorrow. It is always mañana, and when mañana comes I
Dorothy Sloan Books – Catalogue 10/1 (3/93) find something to add, change or subtract. This coyote book [Voice of the Coyote] is the most detailed book I have ever written--and I guess some people when they read it will wonder what possessed me to write it.” The 4 postcards were sent to relatives while JFD was on duty in France during the First World War.
255. Dudley R. Dobie--General Correspondence Relating to J. Frank Dobie, 1935-1972. Approximately 175 letters to DRD. Also present are approximately 50 carbon responses. DRD did much to promote and sell JFD’s books. Over the years he corresponded widely with many people and publishers about his famous cousin. Among this general correspondence are letters from Tom Lea, Carl Hertzog, Angus Cameron, Ralph Yarborough, Isabel Gaddis, Cole Railston, J. Evetts Haley, Jeff Dykes, Edgar Kincaid, W. H. Hutchinson, Southwest Press, and Little, Brown & Co.
256. Bertha Dobie to J. Frank Dobie, R. J. Dobie & Martha Dobie, Ray Pearl [a niece] and others, April-July 1948. Transcriptions in carbon of 14 letters written by Bertha during a trip to Europe. JFD has written on one leaf: “Dear Deborah & Dudley [Dobie]--I thought you might enjoy these letters from Bertha which I had copied.” [With]: Transcription of 15 lengthy letters written by Bertha to Edgar Kincaid, Jr. during the same trip.
257. Miscellaneous Family Correspondence, 1852-1948. 36 letters (19 in carbon transcription). Included are 4 original letters from Ella Dobie (JFD’s mother) to DRD with 3 of his responses in carbon. In addition there are 3 letters from Bertha Dobie to DRD with one response in carbon by him. There are also 6 miscellaneous letters from various family members to Ella Dobie. The carbon transcriptions consist of 11 letters from Rufus Byler to Martha Fusselman Byler, along with 8 letters from Frank Byler and Ed Dubose (JFD’s uncles) to his grandmother. JFD has added an introductory explanation about the letters.
Photographs
258. J. Frank Dobie. Approximately 125 photographs of JFD with a few negatives, ca. 1905-1962. Various sizes, the condition generally excellent, with light fading or spotting to some of the early photographs. Present are many rare, early photographs including examples
Dorothy Sloan Books – Catalogue 10/1 (3/93) from JFD’s high school days in Alice, Texas (1905-6), college days at Southwestern, and a photo dated 1911 of the high school class he taught at Alpine, Texas. One interesting set of small proofs, dated “San Antonio about 1911 or 1912” shows a smiling JFD posing with Alice Beretta. According to Lon Tinkle’s biography of Dobie, Alice was “profoundly in love with Frank. He did not reciprocate, but was a loyal friend then and always thereafter.” Other photographs include pictures with various classmates and organizations at Southwestern, a 1910 photo of JFD with his best friend and roommate, Lowe Simons, a 1914 shot of JFD with his brother, Elrich, and photos from 1918 when JFD was in the army. Additional photographs show JFD giving a spirited lecture, hunting on a trip in Mexico, signing books at a party, meeting with Tom Lea, Angus Cameron, Percy Johnson, and Lon Tinkle, and attending various gatherings with relatives. There are many excellent portrait shots spanning 50 years, some inscribed or signed.
259. The Dobie Family. Approximately 100 photographs with a few negatives, ca. 1870-1960. Various sizes, condition generally fine. Photos of many of JFD’s relatives including his mother Ella, father R. J., siblings Elrich, Lee, and Martha, Uncles Ed and Charlie Dubose, and Uncle Jim Dobie, who had a great influence on JFD’s life. Most of the photos come from the estate of Ella Dobie.
Miscellaneous
260. Account Book Kept By J. Frank Dobie from 1906-1909. 24 pages [10 pages used]. Wraps. Light overall wear otherwise very good. This account book primarily documents JFD’s early venture with cattle raising while he was an undergraduate at Southwestern. JFD, with the help of his father and Uncle Jim, began buying and selling yearlings. JFD bought from Dick Dobie, S. F. Beall, W. R. Goodwin, and W. Hobbs, to name a few. Beside each purchase, JFD has sketched the brand of his newly acquired stock. To a much lesser extent there is an account of various expenditures while at Southwestern.
261. Razor with leather sharpening strap. JFD writes in a accompanying note: “This razor was the property of Abram Byler....He came to Texas from Alabama about the time of the Mexican War--late forties.... [He] was the grandfather
Dorothy Sloan Books – Catalogue 10/1 (3/93) of my mother, her father being named Rufus Byler....The razor, of Sheffield steel, is probably a hundred years old. Beeville, Texas, December 30, 1927.”
262. Miscellaneous Items. Approximately 600 leaves, ca. 1915-1960. An assortment of printed and manuscript material, the majority dealing with the Texas Folklore Society, transactions of books between JFD and DRD, advertising ephemera for JFD and Tom Lea books, and bibliographic references for JFD’s works, primary and secondary.

Binding crudely rebacked in plain black cloth, title-page detached but present. Fair condition only. An excellent association copy with a full-page inscription from Asa Jones to JFD dated Christmas 1944. Jones writes on the flyleaf how he acquired the book while in a work shack at one of his oil field wells: “A tall rangy man with a muchly weathered but kindly face came in.... He asked how long I had been in these parts. I told him `Nearly 30 years.’ Then he said, `I have a book with some good stories about old diggings, buried treasure, and the Lost Nigger Mine. I’ll fetch it. Maybe you can tell me more.’ He fetched this book. His prize possession. A few days later I talked him out of it on the solemn promise I would get him a new one exactly like it, or return this one. I thought you would like to own it. Your friend Asa Jones.” JFD has added his own full-page reply which reads in part: “He [Jones] has seen many a hunter of the Lost Nigger Mine and is a story himself. He was part owner of the Double Circle Ranch in Arizona, and I went out there with him--Well, I’d rather have the old character that Asa got this book from like it than have any amount of praise from the literary professionals.... Frank Dobie Feb. 5/1945.” Appropriately, a note by JFD is enclosed instructing DRD to send a replacement copy to Asa Jones.$200.00 297 . Anr. copy.

Yost & Renner, p. 268. “The first of Dobie’s commercially published anthologies.... The stated purpose of On the Open Range was to deliver to boys and girl the tales and traditions [of the Southwest] that were theirs by right of inheritance and by their kinship with the land and the past” (Abernethy, J. Frank Dobie, p. 41). Sheets bulk approximately 3.5 cm. An inscribed copy by JFD in the Dykes collection at Texas A&M states that only 750 copies of this issue were printed. JFD was upset over the trade issue because it mistakenly had the same text as the “school book” issue below. He had wanted to delete certain parts of the trade issue that duplicated material from his earlier books, rightly thinking that many who would buy the trade issue would have his earlier books, while most school children would not. Because of money difficulties the corrections were never made by the publisher and JFD was not happy with this regular issue (see Tinkle’s biography of Dobie, p. 127).

Minimal wear, otherwise fine and bright. No d.j. (as issued?). Inscribed by JFD to his mother: “This is the book for Texas school children you have so often said you wanted me to write. I don’t know whether it will ever get to the schools or not but it is of the soil you and your children and grandchildren belong to. With love--Frank Austin, Texas Oct. 30, 1931.” A wonderful association copy and very scarce in this binding. There are three binding variants in this collection. McVicker A3a(2) (not noting the variant bindings). The school book issue went through at least four printings under Southwest Press. Reprints were not distinguished as such. It can be inferred from the inscription that a limited number of copies of the school issue were printed and bound with the trade issue endpapers before the book was officially adopted for use by the state. These copies were presumably submitted as samples to the education board in charge of recommending textbooks. The copy offered almost certainly comes from this group, with JFD presenting his mother the school issue rather than the trade issue for reasons expressed in the inscription.$600.00 321 . Anr. copy. Later binding, probable later printing, with pastedowns now reading: “This book is the property of the State of Texas” with lines for student’s names, etc. Fine. According to the Tinkle biography, the book was finally recommended by the state for adoption as a textbook in October 1932. The book was printed to meet orders and bound with the State of Texas pastedowns.$35.00 322 . Anr. copy. Later binding, probable later printing. Variant with spine stating “Southwest Press” followed by three horizontal lines, plain white endpapers. Fine in lightly used d.j. with a price of $1.50.

McVicker A3a(3), not noting the different issues. The Banks Upshaw edition is a reprint of the Southwest Press edition using the same plates. According to McVicker the plates were stolen after an unknown number of printings, and Banks Upshaw then began to produce printings by offset (see issue C below). Later printings were not indicated as such. Three issues are noted in copies offered (priority not established for issues A and B).$25.00 325 .

Inscribed by JFD to DRD: “I had no idea of writing this book when I went to England. After I decided to write it and Raymond Everitt of Little, Brown, & Co. said he would publish it, I started assembling chapters out of the weekly letters I had written back for the Texas newspapers. A lot in these letters seemed too ephemeral for a book however. In the end I made several new chapters. I wrote a long chapter on Americans in England-- just a stringing together of letters. Raymond Everitt thought it didn’t fit; I was inclined to agree. I added the final chapter, written at Austin. Now I wonder if the book would have been more real and readable if I had merely added the letters together chronologically. Anyway, here with all its imperfections, is a copy for you--Frank Austin, Txs, April 22, 1945.” A superb presentation copy. First edition. Dykes, Lea 142.

Reese, Six Score 58: “One of the rarest of all pamphlets on ranching.... Although brief, this little pamphlet conveys the flavor of the range with great flair.” Despite the seeming confusion surrounding the limitation of this book, DRD corresponded in 1941 with Hinkle who wrote that “there were only about 300 copies of this printed and they were distributed among the old timers and old cow men and there are none on the market and none for sale, as it is out of print.”$1,250.00

Included are Milton’s Paradise Lost, Emerson’s Poems, and works by Longfellow, Whittier, and Bryant. Each volume has moderate to heavy annotations with many evaluative comments in the margin. JFD writes of Whittier: “Poems lyrical...good storyteller.... As no other poet has done Whittier has put into artistic form the folk ballads of America.” On Emerson’s poem “The Snow- Storm,” JFD comments: “Perfect picture of a snow storm but lacks human interest.” Of Longfellow he writes: “[His] lack of vigor is a serious defect in his poetry; too moralizing.” These volumes give a rare glimpse of JFD’s undergraduate literature studies and his already developing sense of critical analysis.$350.00
