LS signed “Z. Taylor,” one page, 8 x 10, no date. Letter to a gentleman, in full: "I have received your favor of the 11th Inst. tendering me in the name of your friend Col. Drew, the hospitalities of the Nahant Hotel in August next, or at such other time as may suit my convenience. For this additional expression of kindness from Citizens of Massachusetts you will please accept for yourself and Col. Drew my grateful acknowledgments. Should the condition of my official engagements render it possible for me to visit Nahant during the Summer or Autumn, (which I can scarcely hope will be the case,) it will afford me pleasure to accept the offer which you have so politely made." In fine condition, with a few faint stains. Accompanied by an engraved portrait bearing a facsimile signature. Though it lacks a place or date, this is very likely a scarce letter as president—Taylor would have had few "official engagements" prior to his presidency, and it resembles known letters dating to his sixteen months in the White House.
