AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS)
Boston: 19 December 1891. Letter. A one-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED in full "Oliver Wendell Holmes" on one panel of a 9" x 7" sheet of paper folded into fours. In full: "My dear little Lady, Do you think I could refuse writing you that 'little letter' you ask for? No, indeed, you shall have it before your open letter has time to cool. I am pleased that you ask for it, but you have paid for it beforehand by your charming impersonation of the fascinating young nobleman. I hope you are succeeding in your new role as remarkably as you did in the other, and I send you my kind regards and all my best wishes. Very sincerely yours, Oliver Wendell Holmes." Toning to letter with slightly lighter margins, likely due to previous framing. Very Good. Item #020971
