E. Everett Gettysburg's main speaker

$100.00

 Edward Everett – Statesman, 1860 Vice President candidate, Mass. Governor.  Autograph letter signed, Boston, December 24, 186(?), 1st and 2nd pages of a folded 4-page 8vo sheet.  Everett asks the Hon. A. Fearing to accompany a Judge Russell [probably Superior Court Judge Thomas] on a visit to Everett’s home in Winchester “when the Pond is at full height.”   Everett owned some undeveloped land in Winchester in what is now known as the Sheffield Road Historic District and the pond was likely on of the Mystic Lakes north of Boston.  This is generally routine content arranging a meeting but with some nice association and local content for Everett collectors.  The letter is in very condition with dark writing and some stitch holes in the left margin where it was inserted in a book or album.  [#2695]
