Richard Rush ALS & Clipped Signature
<B>Richard Rush Autograph Letter Signed</B></I> “<I>Richard Rush</B></I>”. One page, 5.25” x 7.5”, mounted to a backing sheet, Sydenham (near Philadelphia), January 25, 1855. An interesting letter written in reply to an early autograph collector's request seeking an autograph of Richard Rush's father, Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. It reads in part: “<I>The lapse of time since his decease, and the many similar applications made to me, have exhausted the stock of his signatures once at my disposal…</B></I>”. The letter has been pieced together and mounted on a backing sheet. There is a large stain present at the upper right corner and light foxing throughout, else good condition. The letter is sold with a clipped Richard Rush signature mounted on a backing sheet, in very good condition. <I>Ex. Henry E. Luhrs Collection.</B></I> <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
