LIPPINCOTT
(Sara Jane, 1823-1904, pseudonym of Grace Greeenwood, American Author, Poet, Correspondent and Newspaper Founder)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed ('Grace Greenwood, Mrs L.K. Lippincott') annotated in another hand as written to 'Elihu Farmer' with the date
saying that she is "very sorry that I cannot yet fix a date and fear we must leave ... for another season. I have been quite seriously ill and the New York & Brooklyn entertainments have been put off or rather no positive arrangements made ... I am not well enough to take a long journey - I expect to go to New York in a few days if I do not get ill again. The weather is now warm and so favourable. I will write from New York - if there is a chance of our coming this month. If this date is too late to make the entertainment profitable we certainly will not let you lose anything. Regretting that I cannot be more explicit ...", 2 sides 8vo., Washington, 9th May
