Uncommon ALS signed “Jane,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 8 x 9.75, April 3, 1845. Lengthy letter to Mary Aiken. In part: “I rejoiced to receive your letter on Saturday and the …intelligence it contained. I am hoping William may bring as good accounts tomorrow. I shall expect him altho the cars have been much impeded today, yet I suppose after one trip the way is clear. Mr. Pierce will be at home tomorrow night and after that thru the week I hope…and then to Keene & Newport unless he is obliged to remain…through the term.” Reverse of second integral page bears an address panel in an unknown hand to “Mrs. Aiken, care of John Aiken Esq., Lowell, Mass,” and is franked in the upper right corner, “Free, Fr. Pierce.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, uniform toning to franked panel, and some scattered light toning to last page of letter from postmark and “Free” stamp on reverse.
