Los 328 | An annoyed response to an autograph seeker
Schätzwert
$ 1 000 – 2 000
HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864). Autograph letter signed ("Nathl Hawthorne") to an unidentified recipient, Concord, 22 November 1863.

One page, 146, x 105mm (minor tear repaired on verso).

An annoyed Hawthorne lectures an autograph seeker: "I willingly send my autograph, but can think of no motto or sentiment at present; except that when a gentleman writes to an author, he had better be accurate as to the direction of his letter, as he will thereby receive the answer more promptly besides saving a double postage to his correspondent." Published in Letters, Centennial Edition, 18:618.
