ALS and an AQS on an off-white 7 x 8.75 sheet. The letter, dated November 3, 1881, reads, “I have been prevented by illness from sooner complying with your request. Please pardon the delay.” On the upper portion of the page, Longfellow writes seven lines from ‘The Song of Hiawatha,’ beginning, “And the Black-Robe chief made answer, Stammered in his speech a little, Speaking words yet unfamiliar, ‘Peace be with you, Hiawatha.” Signed and inscribed, “Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for Edward W. Bok, Cambridge, Mass, November 3, 1881.” In very good condition, with fragile central horizontal fold, a couple pencil notations, and light toning along a couple of folds, a bit heavier to lower right corner.
