ALS, one page, lightly-lined both sides, 5.75 x 9, May 11, 1897. Letter to art collector Thomas B. Clarke. In full: “Enclosed please find a letter from Whittemore Brothers. They have sent the two pictures to Kurtz without the frames. What shall I do, send the frames to your house? Or will you get them from Whittemore.” In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left corner and uniform light toning. From 1884 until his death in 1910, Homer worked in a converted carriage house studio in Scarborough, Maine, which is where he wrote this letter. He and Clarke were frequent correspondents, with the latter being one of Homer’s key patrons, buying, critiquing, and arranging for sale many of his paintings. An uncommon letter related to one such transaction. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
