Description

Tyler held captive: “The crowd around me will most probably detain me a prisoner at home.”

ALS signed “J. Tyler,” one page, 8 x 10, no date. Letter to William Cushing politely asking for a change of plans. In full, “I had forgotten that the Marine band would occupy the grounds adjoining this building on this evening, when I asked that you would do me the pleasure to accompany me in an evening ride. The crowd around me will most probably detain me a prisoner at home and I have therefore to ask that I may be permitted to substitute tomorrow evening for today.” In fine condition, with a bit of mild toning. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
