American sculptor, carpenter, and cameo cutter (1817–1904). ALS signed “E. D. Palmer,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.75 x 7.75, personal letterhead, December 18, 1893. Letter to a former student, Jonathan Scott Hartley. In part: “Your name is the same as that of my grandfather, Jonathan…Did I give you a copy of Walter’s photo of my White Captive?…If you have a copy I wish you give this one to [Daniel Chester] French the Sculptor (if you know him) with my respects and admiration. I am quite sure I gave one each to [John Quincy Adams] Ward and [Augustus] St. Gaudens…I send you a mutilated picture of a head I modeled not long ago. It is of an old Scotchman, long a resident of Albany, and much respected.” In fine condition, intersecting folds. Accompanied by an unsigned carte-de-visite photo of Palmer’s White Captive.
