[Rarebooks] FS: Edward Everett Autograph Letter

[Charles Agvent]

EVERETT, Edward. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Two-page letter written 
as governor of Massachusetts dated 13 December 1836, Charlestown, Mass., 
on both sides of a 7-7/8" x 9-7/8" sheet. Regarding an appointment 
sought by the man he is writing to, addressed here as "Sir" but known to 
be John Davis. Everett also asks Davis's advice on how to spend some 
surplus revenue. Edward Everett--a Unitarian minister and member of both 
the United States Congress and Senate in addition to being governor of 
Massachusetts--is perhaps best known for his oratory powers. It is he 
who gave the "other" address at Gettysburg on 19 November 1863. The next 
day he wrote Lincoln saying, "I should be glad if I could flatter myself 
that I came as near the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you 
did in two minutes." Creases from folding; otherwise Fine. (#010207)
