Schätzwert
$ 1 000 – 2 000
HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864). Autograph letter signed ("Nathl Hawthorne") to J.P. Babbitt, Concord, 29 March 1853.

One page, bifolium, 160 x 102mm (light fingerprint remnants, mounting tape on verso, minor tear at lower margin).

Honoring an autograph request while deprecating his own penmanship. Hawthorne gracefully complies "with Mrs. Babbitt's request; although it causes me some twinges of conscience to spoil this nice little sheet of note paper with my ungainly autograph." This note dates from the first years of Hawthorne's literary celebrity, following the success of his first three romances. Not published in Letters, Centennial Edition.
