[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Oliver Wendell Holmes SIGNED LETTER

[Charles Agvent]

HOLMES, Oliver Wendell. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Boston, n.d. 
[1880?]. A one-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED as "O. W. Holmes" to Dr. 
Bowditch on a 4-1/2" x 6" sheet of paper, not dated. In full: "Pray help 
me out of this scrape. I can't read the man's name, nor a word of his 
letter, but as far as I can make out he has translated a longish piece 
of mine into high Dutch. Do help me spell his name and translate his 
letter. The 'pome,' as the Westerners call it, you had better let alone 
-- for your own sake. Your bewildered friend and colleague." Faint 
crease from mailing; ink dark and clear. About Fine. (#020620)        $500
