He served in 1919 for six days as President of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic, after which he became the head of its army. He was imprisoned for five years for his part in the armed resistance by the Bavarian Soviet Republic to the central government in Berlin. While in prison Toller wrote several plays that gained him international renown. They have performed in London and New York as well as in Berlin. In 1933 Toller was exiled from Germany after the Nazis came to power. He did a lecture tour in 1936 - 1937 in the United States and Canada, settling in California for a while before going to New York. He joined other exiles there. He committed suicide in May 1939.' ***'George Grosz (Jul 26, 1893 - Jul 6, 1959) was a German artist known especially for his caricatural drawings and paintings of Berlin life in the 1920s. He was a prominent member of the Berlin Dada and New Objectivity groups during the Weimar Republic. He emigrated to the United States in 1933, and became a naturalized citizen in 1938.

A splendidly intemperate correspondent between contributor and publisher, almost worthy of one of Jackson's own bibliophile volumes. The four items are in fair condition, on aged and worn paper, one with paperclip stain, another with brass stud, and a third with staple holes; creasing to carbon copies. Kapp's handwriting is 'artistic', and his letterheads are unusually long 8vos. ONE: Kapp to Jackson, 20 January 1920. Signed 'E X Kapp'. 1p, 8vo. Begins: 'My dear Holbrook-Jackson, | Don't you feel you'd like to send me a copy or two of "To-Day" each time? I buy one or two as well, you know! And I haven't had even a single "contributor's copy" from you yet!' He is delighted with the reproduction which, for half-tone, is 'splendid'. He ask him to let 'Massy' have his originals back: 'I'm missing sales all the time. I sold the Shaw & Malleson @ 10 gns. each the day they arrived at the Studio & could have sold several others if you'd only have had the blocks made & sent 'em back to me. I should be so grateful if you would. All of 'em - please!' TWO: Unsigned Carbon Typescript Copy of Jackson's reply to One, 22 January 1920. 1p, 4to. He begins: 'As I told you at the inorganisation of our negotiations it will be impossible for me to have blocks made of all your drawings at once, but I am arranging to do three at a time as in the first instance, and as soon as the third has gone to press will put three more in hand and return drawings to you. I am afraid this is the best I can do for the present, as I have locked up as much money in these caricatures as the paper will stand.' Having worked himself up into a quite understandable stew of indignation, he concludes on the subject of the requested copies: 'I think it is unfair of you to ask us to send you free copies, as I did not ask you to let us have free drawings. If you do not consider "To-day" worth buying I am sorry both for "To-day" and for yourself.' THREE: Kapp to Jackson, 25 January 1920. 2pp, 8vo. Signed 'Edmond X Kapp'. He wites in combative fashion, with a blizzard of rhetorical questions: 'Do you not think the tone you affect towards me [.] is a little unnecessarily aggrieved? You know very well that I always buy "To-Day." Besides, I told you so in my last. Didn't you believe me? More. Perhaps you have forgotten that I took in TO-DAY from the start; and, indeed, on that occasion I sent you a personal letter expressing to you my congratulation, my appreciation and my goodwill. Do you remember what I said in that letter from France? I meant it.' He continues on the subject of contributor's copies, stating that 'Every other paper I have ever drawn or written for sends out at least one [.] Even, to my surprise, the "English Review" [.] Do you not conform to this practice? It seems to me a pleasant courtesy. I don't mind spending a number of sixpences on "To-Day"s. But that isn't quite the point, is it?' The second half of the letter is in a slightly more conciliatory tone, with Kapp expressing regret that Jackson cannot 'meet me here, as it is a real loss to me. However, I quite follow you and shall not raise the question again. Meanwhile, however, you DID agree to pay for drawings on delivery - otherwise, what point in my sending them to you months ahead instead of keeping them at the Studio?' He discusses the outstanding account, asking: 'Will you be kind enough to settle now? I am not forgetting the other two drawings to complete the dozen. They will probably be Zangwill & W. L. George, if you want these. | I send you warm and friendly greetings!' FOUR: Unsigned Carbon Typescript Copy of Jackson's reply to Three, 28 January 1920. 2pp, 4to. He begins in conciliatory tone, stating that he believes 'every word you say about "To-day" and not only believe it but appreciate your kindly reference to the little journal. | My letter to you was hurriedly dictated, I was departing for Scotland from whence I have only just returned.' On the subject of contributors' copies, he explains: '.…
