Item #22686 Typed Note Signed. George F. HOAR.

Typed Note Signed.

The champion of civil service reform served Massachusetts for many years as representative and senator. TNS, 1p, 8" X 10", Washington, DC, 1901 January 4. Addressed to Walter R. Benjamin (1859-1940), the pioneering autograph dealer whose firm was run by daughter Mary Benjamin until her death not too many years ago. Very good. "Will you send me at Washington the Burke autograph, contained in your last Bulletin, #1, sent me this morning, price $7.50." Strong, bold signature, with words "at Washington" in Hoar's hand as well. There are a number of historical Burkes this could have been referring to, but it is likely that this American politician would have taken an interest in the British statesman. In any case, one salivates at the thought! Item #22686

Price: $85.00
