Description: This is a signed handwritten letter by author James Appleton Morgan. The letter is handwritten on a 7" by 8.5" sheet ofhis office stationery, with his name printed twice. The address is 30 Park Place, New York, which is now the site of a new 82 story skyscraper. This skyscraper, also known as the Four Seasons Hotel, is located in downtown Manhattan, close to the World Trade Center. James Appleton Morgan (1845-1928) was a New York attorney with literary interests, who founded the Shakespeare Society in 1885. Morgan served as the president of that organization until 1910. Morgan was the author of many literary books and essays, including The Shakespearean Myth; The Law of Literature; Macaronic Poetry; and Venus and Adonis: a Study in Warwickshire Dialect. Morgan was also the author of many books and essays on the Law, such as The Principles of the Law of Evidence. The letter is dated June 1, 1877. It is addressed to a "Mr. Gilbert". As best I can make out, it reads as follows: Mr. Gilbert, Dear Sir- will you let this matter lie over a day or so- my wife wastaken sick & I had to go into the countrywith her & only returned late yes-terday- I will let you hear fromme early in the week Morgan (no doubt I have gotten a few words wrong) There is some writing in faint ink on the reverse side, probably by the unidentified Mr. Gilbert. The letter is in good condition, with a spot worn through next to the salutation, and some general wear. It is enclosed in a clear plastic page, for protection. The letter is an interesting relic of 19th century New York, with a very nice connection to 21st century New York. Shipping is FREE via USPS First Class Mail.
