Description

ALS, one page, 5 x 8, postmarked April 8, 1875. Letter to R. T. Hawley, in full: "Yours rec'd. I shall be glad to gratify the very laudable curiosity of your 8 year old daughter and will drop you a line on my arrival in Washington. I expect to stop at the Arlington. It is just possible that my new office will prevent my visiting Washington but I don't intend it shall be." In fine condition, with splitting to the ends of the horizontal folds.
