ALS signed “Edw. E. Hale,” one page, 5.25 x 7.5, clergy letterhead affixed to a sheet of almost the exact size, February 8, 1865. Hale writes, in full: “This will be given to you by Mr. Dimokides, an American citizen whose recent domicile has been Alexandria. Mr. Dimokides left Egypt before my brother’s arrival there. He has some remarkable facts with regard to Damese’s intrigues there which I think you ought to know. He has not seen my brother since they were both in London.” In very good condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, uniform shade of toning from adhesive, some light curling and rippling along the edges.
During this time, Hale was expressing concerns over the end of the war and converting southern cities to Christianity. According to The Life and Letters of Edward Everett Hale, Vol. 2, in a letter dated January 31, 1865, he writes that “we shall have to see that body, mind, and soul are properly cared for, and this must be done, if it is done at all, by distinct and avowed religious influence. Not, of course, by preaching of sermons and arguing much with religionists. I hope that is not the idea of your missionary friends in Egypt,” perhaps the “intrigues” mentioned in this letter.
