[Rarebooks] FS: Handwritten SIGNED Letter by Edward Everett with Free Frank

[Charles Agvent]

EVERETT, Edward. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). One-page letter to the 
Honorable John Davis, former governor of Massachusetts and United States 
senator at the date of this letter: 11 August 1848. On an integral sheet 
is Everett's SIGNATURE with a Cambridge postmark, red wax seal, and a 
free frank in the form of a stamp of the word "FREE" with "Free" written 
by Everett over that. Everett writes regarding a memorial presented to 
the Senate by Davis for his sister Mrs. A. H. Everett. Edward Everett--a 
Unitarian minister, member of both the United States Congress and 
Senate, and also a 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. (#010195)     $250
