ALS signed “John G. Whittier,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 3.5 x 4.5, April 1, 1886. In a brief letter of thanks for reading material, in part: “I am near the end of life here—in my 79th year—and writing is a painful effort, but I could not resist telling thee of the pleasure thy letter has given me.” In very good condition, with a vertical crease along the right edge, passing through a single letter of the last name of the signature, toning, the ink lighter due to aging, and a few darker ink blots. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Whittier’s hand.
