Eminent American writer (1809–1894) best known for his collection The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table and the much-anthologized poem ‘The Chambered Nautilus.’ ALS signed “O W Holmes,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, December 2, 1839. Letter to John Rasson at the University of Vermont. In part: “My various engagements compel me to decline the invitations of the Phi Sigma Nu and the University Institute Societies. I would not do so however without expressing…the honor they have done me in making the request, and my regret that I must deny myself the pleasure of visiting the Institute at Burlington.” Second integral page bears an address panel to Rasson. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, with several vertical folds passing through signature, and a bit of light toning.
