Description: March 20, 1933. 1933. - Nineteen words typed on a cream-colored 3 inch high by 5 inch wide card. Signed in black ink "3.20.'33 Henry van Dyke". 4 pieces of scotch tape adhering to the verso where it was removed from an album cause slight offsetting to the recto. Very good.

Van Dyke notes on the card: "Although I am old, busy and not very well, I must send you the autograph for which you ask."
