dine and to meet the Dean of Chester. Longfellow remarks how a Good 
Samaritan in the Boston Post Office allowed this invitation to reach him 
by adding a 2-cent stamp to the envelope, which Longfellow has affixed 
to the facing blank page as evidence: "This Good Samaritan contributed 
his two-pence, or a stamp to that amount, and all is set right again. 
What a good man he must be!" SIGNED "Henry W. Longfellow." Normal folds 
from mailing. Near Fine. (#017710)        $500.00
