And, an LS signed “W. McKinley,” one page, 5.25 x 8.25, personal letterhead, June 16, 1896. Letter of thanks for a musical gift. In full: “It was very kind of you to remember me with a copy of your composition ‘Dear Old Ohio Home’ and I thank you for the courtesy.” In very good condition, with uniform shade of toning, scattered soiling, and a few creases and wrinkles.
