ALS signed “J. R. Lowell,” one page, 5 x 8, July 19, 1876. A letter to “Mr. Cary” discussing some papers. In part: “I had not seen the papers for a good while, & I fear you won’t find them more to your purpose than my uncle Russell did… You are entirely welcome to them & needn’t take the trouble to return them. I am only sorry that I should have unintentionally made them more important than they deserved.” In fine condition, with some mirroring from a different letter and toning to the bottom, through the signature. RRAuction COA.
