HARRISON, ANNA S.
(1775 - 1864) First Lady, wife of William Henry Harrison, 9th President of the United States. Fine and rare A.L.S. ""Anna Harrison"" 2pp. 4to., Northbend, Nov. 18, 1848, to Phoebe R. Reeves, in very small part: ""...Anna & myself received your affectionate letter 2 weeks ago & thank you for it. I am never good of apology but I think I will have to do so this time. My own poor health often, very often, keeps from writing when I wish so to do...We were happy to hear your health was as good as usual, but you have had an affliction, & death in your family altho not any of your own family, but death is a very solemn thing...Thankful Hallock, a Niece of your uncle, I remember well. I have played with her many a day. We must have been about the same age...The oldest of my son William's sons, Findlay, was married a few weeks ago and has moved on to Wabash in Indiana. Pike Harrison is still in the Army. He has not been home since he went to Mexico...My health has been so poor together with rainy weather, that I have not been able to attend Church for some time. Oh what a great blessing it is when we are able to go to the House of God...The state of Religion in this place is at a very low ebb indeed..."". Very good condition. Harrison is rare in any format.
