Description

ALS signed “S. F. Smith,” two pages, lightly-lined, 4.5 x 9, November 11, 1895. Letter to Lewis Coffrain. In part: “I thank you for the kind invitation to stop on in Buffalo; but the feeble state of health of my wife requires that, after we have started, we sh’d go directly through to Davenport without lingering on the way, with the annoyance of thinking that we have to start again…We leave Boston for the West Nov. 21 a.m. My address for the winter & spring months will simply be ‘Davenport.’” Both pages are affixed to a 5.25 x 10 sheet of cardstock, with label borders affixed to edges. In fine condition, with tape between first and second pages and a uniform shade of mild toning. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
