ALS, one page both sides, 5 x 8, April 28, 1865. Letter to former New Hampshire Governor John H. Steele, in full: “I thank you for your kind note of the 21st. inst. and deeply regret your feeble state of health. I hope that vigor may return to your system and that you may be exempt from any severe physical suffering. At all events it is a comfort to perceive that your love for the Constitution which the fathers gave us, your sound principles and your pluck are unshaken. I was pretty seriously ill in February from the effects of a severe cold and heavy cough but am reasonably well now.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, written in Pierce’s own hand, as well as an unsigned engraved portrait.
