ALS signed “Joshua L. Chamberlain,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 6.5, September 24, 1904. Letter to Manly Hardy, in part: "Sarah sent me 'The Penobscot Man' and I have been reading it with greatest interest. It is a remarkable book, both the substance and the style of it…Reading this makes me want to go to the 'West Branch' myself…At least I want to go as far as Norcross and the streams & lakes that lie toward the foot of Katadin. There is a view there of which I want to hone a sketch made from my especial stand-point, and I would like to get that now, this season." In fine condition, with short splits to the horizontal fold.
