Description

Irving responds to the Saint Nicholas Society of New York

ALS, one page, 6.5 x 8, December 4, 1854. Letter to Benjamin H. Field, chairman of the steward of the St. Nicholas Society, in full: "Considerations of health have for some time past obliged me to decline all invitations to public dinners; otherwise there is none I would more gladly accept than that of the St. Nicholas Society. Absence from home prevented my receiving your card in time for an earlier reply." In very good to fine condition, with multiple vertical folds.
