ALS signed “J. W. Howe,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, which are taped to a fixed position and measure 9.75 x 8, April 11, 1891. Letter to Colonel Higginson, in part: "You were appointed one by a Committee of five to draft a circular which may be printed with names appended…I wish to beg that you will act as Chairman of this Committee, and meet with them at my house on Monday evening next 13th., at 8 o'clock. I know that this is asking a great deal, but chivalry, you know, obliges even more than noblesse, and those who combine both obligations—I must say no more…If you will only help us to start the night…it may save, not only loss of time, but also…importunate mistakes." In very good to fine condition, with some paper loss and tape along the hinge. Includes a printed copy of Howe's The Battle Hymn of the Republic, which bears affixed clippings.
