ALS, one page, 4 x 5.75, 816 Madison Avenue [the Henry Marquand mansion] letterhead, February 11, 1891. Handwritten letter to Charles MacVeagh, in full: "I shall be at the office all day Monday – or until four PM – and after that hour, at my home." In fine condition, with a short split to the central horizontal fold. The recipient is ostensibly Charles MacVeagh (1860–1931), an American lawyer and diplomat who served as United States Ambassador to Japan from 1925 to 1928. He was the son of Wayne MacVeagh, who was Attorney General of the United States in the administration of President James Garfield.
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.
