HOLMES, Oliver Wendell — AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS)
Boston. 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
