[With:] FAULKNER, William. Typed statement with two autograph corrections, n.d., and autograph list of names and list of gifts on verso. One page, 4to. Quarter morocco folding case. Reading: "The posted woods on my property inside the city limits of Oxford contain several tame squirrels. Any hunter who considers himself too deficient in woodcraft and marksmanship to face a dangerous wild squirrel, might be able to cope with these. These woods are part of the pasture used by my horses and milk cow; also, the late arrival will find them already full of other hunters. He is kindly requested not to shoot either of these. William Faulkner." On the verso Faulkner has written the names of six members of his staff and his proposed gifts: Lulie Belle (1 pint, 1 tumbler snuff); Renzy (1 carton cigarettes, 1 tumbler snuff, 1 pint, 2 adults); Alvis (1 carton cigarettes, 1 pint, 6 children, 2 adults); Payne (1 pound tobacco, 1 pint, alone); Mary (1 pint, 2 people) and Andrew (2 pints, 1 tumbler snuff, 1 pound tobacco).
