ALS signed “O. W. Holmes,” one page, 4.75 x 6, August 20, no year. Letter to an admirer. In full: “I can only guess about the date of the Daguerreotype and the photograph. The first about the age of 40—the second somewhere from 75 to 80. I am sorry I cannot do better—I have often scolded about undated photographs.” Scattered irregular toning and a couple stray ink marks, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned carte-de-visite portrait of Holmes. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
