TLS, two pages, 8 x 10, Isham, Lincoln, and Beale letterhead, January 30, 1888. Letter to DeWitt Ray at the Chicago Herald. In part: “I beg, as a matter of courtesy to the Secretary of the Boston Herald, that you will reply to him that some seven years ago, I think, Bell, of Washington, made a photograph of myself, which is the original of a good many newspaper wood cuts that I have seen; that since then I have had only one photograph taken but that was so unsatisfactory that I have destroyed the copies of it at my house…I would prefer that no portrait of myself be published.” In very good condition, with mounting remnant to reverse of vertical edge of first page, intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, ink flecks to signature, and some mild toning.
