Poet best known for his poems of childhood 'Wynken, Blynken, and Nod' and 'Little Boy Blue.' ALS, one page both sides, 7.5 x 11, June 24, 1874. Letter to his wife Julia. In part, 'You must have worried considerately that you have received no word from me since I left you last week. Since my arrival I have been kept so extremely busy that I have not been able to find time to write...I have thought of you very often...I am now almost sorry I came, for it has been dull enough here - in fact the stupidest week I have faced for a long time...This afternoon it rained a little - just enough to make the atmosphere more damp and disagreeable.' Letter is affixed by its left edge to a slightly larger sheet. In very good condition, with some light toning and spotting, some separations along mailing folds and light creasing. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. RRAuction COA.
