[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Letter from America's First Travel Writer

[Charles Agvent]

TAYLOR, Bayard. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). One-page letter to a Mrs. 
Rutherford on a 5" x 7-7/8" sheet SIGNED in full by Taylor. In part: "I 
will look over my sketches, and if there is anything fit, will send it 
to-morrow. But my portfolio is nearly empty (having left everything at 
Cedarcroft [his home in Pennsylvania] and I am not sure that I have any 
sketch which I can venture to let go into an artist's album." He goes on 
to express regret that he won't be able to accept her invitation as he 
has a lecture in Boston. Taylor was a successful poet and America’s 
first travel writer. Some creasing and wrinkling, a few words in blue 
pencil in another hand at the top, docketed on verso. Very Good.
