Description

“Going back many years, there was a saying ‘a lady on the left, is no lady!’”

ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.25 x 5.75, personal letterhead, no date. Letter to Mrs. Cleveland. In part: “Going back many years, there was a saying ‘a lady on the left, is no lady!’ This is of course absurd. But it is true that a gentleman presents his right arm to a lady…I have never (here in N. Y.) seen a bridegroom (or any gentleman any where) offer his left arm to a lady, unless his right one was injured.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
