The letter includes good content on Beecher's abolitionist opinions of slavery. Some mounting remnants on page four. The cabinet card (4.25" x 6.5") features Beecher seated in a studio, hat in hand. Imprinted on the reverse by J. Curney & Sons. Age-toned with a small hole and tear along the top edge.
