Prominent and sometimes controversial American clergyman, orator, and abolitionist (1813–1887) who was the brother of Uncle Tom’s Cabin author Harriet Beecher Stowe. ALS, one faintly lined page both sides, 5 x 8, no date. Beecher writes to “My dear Brother” [probably Charles Beecher]. In part: “Thanks for your considerate and kind words touching Plymouth Church. After a life of nearly forty years advocacy of unwelcome causes, in the minority, I do not feel particularly alarmed to have one more battle to fight for liberty—but am glad of fraternal sympathy…. I presume you state in your discourse that Timothy was Bishop over the Greek Churches & it is only to Corinth & to Timothy that Paul preached injunctions….” In very good condition, with short separations along horizontal folds (lightly touching a few words), mild soiling and wrinkling (paperclip impression to one edge), and faint show-through of ink. R&R COA.
