HOLMES, Oliver Wendell. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Boston, 19 
December 1891. A one-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED in full "Oliver 
Wendell Holmes" on one panel of a 9" x 7" sheet of paper folded into 
fours. In full: "My dear little Lady, Do you think I could refuse 
writing you that 'little letter' you ask for? No, indeed, you shall have 
it before your open letter has time to cool. I am pleased that you ask 
for it, but you have paid for it beforehand by your charming 
impersonation of the fascinating young nobleman. I hope you are 
succeeding in your new role as remarkably as you did in the other, and I 
send you my kind regards and all my best wishes. Very sincerely yours, 
Oliver Wendell Holmes." Toning to letter with slight lighter margins, 
likely due to previous framing. Very Good. (#020971)        $300
