Description
Benjamin Harrison Letter Signed "Benj. Harrison." One page on his personal letterhead, 5" x 8", Washington, D.C., October 10, 1895 to Osborn H. Oldroyd. The former President thanks the author for a copy of his book Words of Lincoln. He writes, in part: "I am particularly obliged to you for putting this book into my possession, as I might not otherwise have found it. There are treasures of wisdom and patriotism , and of hope and love in the words of Abraham Lincoln. He had a way of saying things that made us think more highly of our fellow men and more humbly of ourselves."Condition: The letter has been mounted to backing board. The paper is uniformly toned with an occasional trivial stain.
