Description

“How goes things in the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

ALS, one page, 5 x 8, North Stafford Station Hotel letterhead, March 29, 1903. Letter to a friend. In full: “Spring is coming. The fields are green and smiling and all nature is putting on a new garb. We are here in Stoke on Hanley the heart of the pottery district of England. We return to London on the 10th for 8 or 9 days then go to Paris and Brussels etc. for 2 or 3 weeks, coming back to England for a further tour. I want to sail home early in June but I have been unable to settle that point so far. The band boys are well and seem to be happy. How goes things in the land of the free and the home of the brave?” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of mild toning. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
