^Lot 606 James Russell Lowell

ALS signed “J. R. Lowell,” one page, 5.25 x 7.5 affixed to a slightly larger sheet, embossed personal letterhead, December 21, 1854. Lowell writes, in part: “If it be not giving too much trouble, will you change the advertisement to ‘English poetry,’ simply? I find I shall not get outside of that, unless possibly, I say something about Dante.” In very good condition, with a central vertical and horizontal fold, a few light areas of toning, and scattered light creasing from mounting adhesive on the reverse.
