ALS, 3pp (lettersheet), 4½" X 7", New York, NY, 21 May n.y. Addressed to Mrs. Ropes. Near fine. On imprinted letterhead of "Yale Club / 30 West Forty-Fourth Street," Moody implores a friend to reconsider attending his party, some type of extended affair at the famed Northfield Schools -- perhaps a fundraising affair? "I am deeply disappointed at your letter and very Earnestly trust that on second thought you may find it possible to join our party Friday. Our train will be the 4 p.m. train Friday and we anticipate two good days for our friends at Northfield...." Boldly penned in Moody's large, attractive hand. Undated, but likely turn-of-the-century. Unusual.

Price: $75.00
