Uncommon printed sheet from Spiegel Grove, dated July 2, 1889, sent out by Hayes after his wife Lucy’s passing, 4.25 x 7, bearing an ANS in the lower portion, addressed to journalist and editor Edward Bok, in full: “I would write you more fully if I could. You are always thoughtful & kind. Thankfully, your friend, Sincerely, Rutherford B. Hayes.” In fine condition. Edward Bok was the editor of The Brooklyn Magazine, who, in May 1886, aided Hayes in publishing an article that argued for national aid to education. Following the outpouring of condolences received by Hayes, the former president had this seldom-seen sheet printed for many of his closest friends, adding handwritten sentiments to a scarce few.
