ALS signed “Henry W. Longfellow,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, February 4, 1879. Letter to an unidentified gentleman. In part: “I have so many things to thank you for. First of all, for the graceful, and beautiful verses you have been kind enough to dedicate to me, and in which you so generously express your regard and consideration. And second, for the photograph, which is like a living presence, and seems to have just uttered the words you have written. And then for your printed poem ‘Le Poete,’ which I have read with the greatest sympathy for its noble sentiments and beauty of expression. In return, I send you by today’s post, a copy of ‘Keramos’ my last published volume, and the latest photograph taken of me.” In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, a couple trivial wrinkles, and docketing on reverse of second page.
