Autograph letter by L. van Weleveld, to the Prince van Oranje [Fredrik?], in which he mentions the publication of his 'Wapenboek' and the fact that he already sent proof prints and a prospectus for said work. Weleveld assumes that these arrived in good order and '...dat de suppliant moet veronderstellen dat de bedeelde prospectus met de afdrukken nimmer in Uwer Koninklijke Hoogheids handen zijn gekomen, vermits hij steeds het genoegen heeft moeten ontberen antwoord daaromtrent ...te ontvangen'.

Personal letter by the famous doctor and conversationalist Oliver Wendel Holmes, dated 'Boston Aug. 15th 1876', opening 'My dear Lady...' To the author & collector Amy Twiss housed in the original 'Autographensammlung von Amy Twiss' folder. Wendell Holmes acknowledges the receipt of the letter and replies most kindly to Ms. Twiss' praise for his writing skills. He then tells the events surrounding the loss of her letter upon his return to Boston after a visit to the sea-shore. Once he realises he took out his pocket-book at a pharmacy's Sunday last [in order to buy some mosquito repellant] the puzzle is solved: 'Just one hour and 15 minutes ago I got into a horse-car and went to the shop where I made my purchase. There sure enough, I found the letter!' He explains that letter writing 'a few words of communication' makes him feel better. 'I like myself better for having done so.' In 30 lines he then proceeds to explain the poem 'How the Old Horse Won the Bet'
