Scottish-born industrialist and philanthropist (1835-1919) who earned his fortune in the burgeoning American steel industry. ALS in pencil, one page both sides, 8 x 5, December 20, 1911. Handwritten letter to John A. Stewart, in full: "It is difficult to understand how the writer of enclosed was asked to cooperate. His recent outburst in another direction is akin to this epistle. There are few intelligent men in our land who do not appreciate the people of Britain's attitude on Republic during Civil War with John Bright leading them. True the classes aristocracy naturally favored the intended dissolution of the Republic but the people stood with us. I do not think you should mind this epistle." In fine condition.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
