Uncommon ALS signed “Jane M. Pierce,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4 x 6.25, black-bordered letterhead, September 30, 1850. Letter to Mrs. Anna Wentworth in Lowell, Massachusetts. In full: “It is hardly right, that, because you were so kind in sending me the delicious cherries last Summer that I should also keep the very nice box, and having an opportunity I return it now, wishing I could fill it with something acceptable, and more tangible than thanks, and affectionate remembrances—I heard from you sometime since thru Mr Pierce who had seen Mr Wentworth in business at the Office, but it is only in an accidental way that I do hear—I hope that you are at your best in health & that I like much to see you. I am better of the cough which was so distressing in the Season, but never very well as you know. You, I am seeing thought of us in our deep sorrow and irreparable loss. I believe you had seen and known something of the beloved brother upon whom our hearts were so much set. Your uncle is absent from home today, as he has been very much of late—Ben would like to see Freddy again.” In fine condition, with some scattered light toning and a few pencil remnants to pages.
