Description

“I have...well considered the demand you make me - to which I find it difficult to give an affirmative answer.”

Known as the world’s sweetest singer. ALS signed “Jenny Goldschmidt,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, July 8, 1862. Letter to Lady Mary. In part, “I have…well considered the demand you make me - to which I find it difficult to give an affirmative answer…knowing from …experiences that even the slightest…readiness to assist in my case is generally construed into a promise from which there is no retracting possible, not that it would be so in this case. I feel the necessity of being courteous.” In fine condition, with expected folds and some mild toning. R&R COA.
