ALS signed “Fr. Pierce,” one page, lightly-lined, 8 x 10, July 15, 1841. Letter to H. H. Carroll, in full: “I thank you for your letter written at Boston and was much gratified to hear of your safe arrival at Concord with your sick sister who I hope has suffered little from fatigue. If I had time I should take great pleasure in filling a short note or two to you, but proper as I am the thing is impossible. We take a nap now from 2 1/2 to 4 1/2. I have this morning disposed of all the pension bills upon the calendar 112 in number—O.K. as Charles Green would say. I made a speech yesterday upon the defines of the country of something less than an hour, it will appear in the proceedings in the Globe of tonight, hastily and imperfectly reportive, but as well as I could do it in the hurry—I enclose letters of introduction sufficient for all practical purposes. Hope to see you at Concord.” Reverse bears a hand-addressed free frank panel by Pierce, addressed to “H. H. Carroll, Esq., Concord N.H.,” and franked at the top, “Free Frank. Pierce.” In fine condition. An attractive, crisply signed letter with the sought-after inclusion of Pierce’s free frank. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
