Tiffany,” one page, 5.25 x 8.25, blindstamped "T" monogram letterhead, July 26, 1877. Handwritten letter to Rodney Mercer, in full: "Your note was received some time ago, but owing to my intended trip to Africa I have been so long that it is only now, just before my departure, I can find time to respond. Hope you will excuse me for being so dilatory." In fine condition.
