Journalist, politician, editor, and founder of the New York Tribune (1811–1872). ALS, one page, 8 x 10, February 8, 1841. Greeley writes, in part: “You will receive this by the hand of my friend Prof. Benson…who visits your city soon to give lectures on Elocution and Vocal Philosophy. His Elocution is at time effective, but as a whole does not ravish me; his Vocal Philosophy goes ahead of any thing you have come across, if you have not heard him. I beg you hear and heed him.” Intersecting folds, light creasing, and light show-through from writing on the reverse, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
