Description

An invitation for a literary lunch at Boston’s Parker House

ALS signed “Henry W. Longfellow,” one page both sides, 4.5 x 7, November 2, 1858. Letter to Reverend T. S. King. In full: “Will you do me the favor to dine with me at Parker’s on Friday Nov. 5 at half past two?” In fine condition. An interesting association, as Boston’s famous Parker House was established in 1855 and became the home of the ‘Saturday Club,’ an informal monthly gathering of intellectuals that counted Longfellow, Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Oliver Wendell Holmes among its members. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
