ALS signed “W. S.,” one page, 8 x 9.75, no date but docketed June 20, 1805 on the reverse. Letter to Rev. E. L. Foster on publishing the works of John Dryden. In part: “I have the pleasure to enclose a proof of Dryden from which you will perceive the plan I have adopted with regard to his plays. I suppose it will be quite unnecessary to send you those proofs which contain a mere re-print, because doing so will materially delay the work—accuracy being all that is required for which I will be answerable.” Upper portion is inlaid into a slightly larger sheet. In very good condition, with seal-related paper loss. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
