Wife of Millard Fillmore (1798–1853) and First Lady of the United States from 1850–1853. Ultra rare ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4 x 6.5, black-bordered letterhead, no date. Letter to Mrs. Carroll. In full: “I intended to have made you an offer of our carriage to drive out whenever you felt disposed, but I had so many things to occupy my mind I neglected it—Mr. Carroll has been sick, and you have been confined by his sick bed, and riding may benefit you both. And I beg you will send for our carriage whenever you desire. It will be a favor to us if you will do so, or the horses might suffer for want of exercise. We have only arrived this morning being a little sick from the voyage have seen no acquaintances today. I wish yourself husband and daughter were here—but whether here or there, I hope to meet you in good health, and also to find Mr. Carroll perfectly restored.” In fine condition, with a spot of light toning over a portion of the first line of text.
