Title: [Als] Before His Letter's Publication in the Boston Transcript, Edward Everett Makes a Request of Editor Daniel N. Haskell
Description: [Boston], 1854. [2 pp]. 3.5 x 6 inches. Edward Everett (1794-1865) was a member of the US House of Representatives (1825-1835); the Governor of Massachusetts (1836-1840); the US Minister to the United Kingdom (1841-1845); the US Secretary of State (1852-1853); and a US Senator (1853-1854). Following his formal political career, Everett spent his remaining years as a traveling orator, and contributing to the New York Ledger, regularly donating proceeds from both of these endeavors. This letter, dated November 22nd, 1854, is to D.N. [Daniel Noyes] Haskell, editor of the Boston Transcript. In full: "I observe in the Transcript this afternoon that you propose to find room tomorrow for my letter to the Historical Society of New York. You would oblige me if you would follow the Daily Adv. of this morning - it was given with so many misprints in some of the New York papers as to the scarcely intelligible. Very good, torn along edges and centerfold, faint soiling, minor ink bleed through.
