As a young man living in England while studying art history at the Courtauld Institute, Vincent Price was an avid collector of autographs and famous letters. are two handwritten letters in pen from Max Beerbohmn on his personal stationary, with the heading 48, Upper Berkeley Street, W. January 13, 1919 My dear Frederic I was so sorry you didn't turn up, but I guessed that by some mischance my letter hadn't reached you. Please thank Mrs. Fowler for her very kind invitation. I shall have very much pleasure in coming to luncheon next Thursday at 1:30. Till when (x), yours ever (}) Max Beerbohm x} Excuse contradiction in terms. Sunday My dear Manning I had so hoped I could come and meet your friend next Wednesday; but I shall, alas, be out of town. Please give me another chance--week after next, or rather next week: I never realize that weeks begin on Sundays--Sundays seeming so essentially death-like. "Max" be it, by all means, and of course: we have surely known each other long enough for that. Twenty years or so hence I shall manage to return the compliment by addressing you as Frederic. One has to have known a Frederic for at least thirty years before his named become imbued with any sort of personal significance. "Manning" mean you well enough; but Frederic, for the present, means Tom, Dick, and Harry. Yours ever Max Beerbohm Frederic
