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.
