In full, 'I did accidentally delay, but did not neglect your complimentary regards. I remembered to have sent you an autograph on a blank card and with it your card endorsed by me, so as to connect my name with yours, if you should choose to keep that card in your private collection. For better security I now send another.' Affixed to a slightly larger piece of heavier stock paper. In fine condition, with light toning and some scattered light soiling with none affecting bold signature. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from University Archives' John Reznikoff and RRAuction COA.
