ALS, one page, lightly-lined both sides, 5 x 8, September 8, 1864. Letter to Mrs. William T. Carroll. In part: “I was greatly surprised to hear that you had not received Mrs. Fillmore’s photograph, but I now recollect that her modesty prevented her from sending it, and she hoped to get yours by sending mine. I now take great pleasure in sending hers and also one of my son, and one of my dear daughter taken from a painting since her death…You must indeed be exceedingly lonely and I wish Mrs. F. and myself were so near that we could give you an occasional call to cheer your loneliness…Mrs. F. joins me in a renewed request for your photograph.” In fine condition, with a small pencil notation along bottom edge. Fillmore’s daughter Mary served as White House hostess from 1850–1853. She died of cholera at the age of 22 in 1854. RR Auction COA.
