American writer (1850–1895) best known for his poems of childhood, including ‘Wynken, Blynken, and Nod’ and ‘Little Boy Blue.’ ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Chicago Daily News letterhead, January 31, 1886. Letter to an unidentified recipient. In part: “I have neither seen nor heard of you, and hence the logical conclusion that our friend Crane is a liar…I am to visit Julian Hawthorne at Sag Harbor for about a week…In New York and suburbs, therefore, I shall remain ten days…That will give us-you and me-plenty of time to renew old acquaintances, discuss political problems, regulate governmental matters and get our fingernails pared. By the way, how is the beautiful and accomplished manicure Madame…Is the buxom little redheaded wench still in her employ?…I am going down to Indianapolis next Wednesday to join Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley in a joint attack on the public.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, several staple holes, scattered light toning, and recipient's and manicurist’s name scratched off.
