ALS signed “J. L. Chamberlain,” one page both sides, 8 x 10, April 5, 1886. Written from Ocala, Florida, a letter to Charles O. Farrington concerning his poor health and a land transaction, in part: "I have got up sufficiently to come here, making a…journey of it—& have just about strength enough to write one letter a day. My attendants kept all letters & business from…Jan. 16th. But I was…seriously ill from 22d Feb…I tried to make out a list here, & think I am correct. But if not, will you please set it right…But I am desirous of selling…and if it will make the trade go, & now, you may take off $40—or even, if absolutely necessary, the whole $90." In very good to fine condition, with a small chip to one edge, and splitting and fait toning along the fragile intersecting folds.
