Author: WALSH, Robert (1784-1859)
Title: Autograph Letter Signed
Description: This influential American journalist and author founded the first American quarterly, "The American Review of History and Politics," in 1811; a long-time expatriate in Paris, he began what is considered the first American literary salon. ALS, 1p, 5¼" X 6¼", [Paris, France], November n.y. Very good. Would be fine but for removal of topmost edge (perhaps ½?), possibly to remove recipient's name -- though still complete, with salutation intact. Gracious invitation to one of Walsh's famed salon evenings, reading in part: "..our friend the Revd Mr. Baird expressed to me the wish.. that I should make your acquaintance, and that of Monsieur Nicolas, the eminent theological writer. I have called on you, but was not so fortunate as to find you at home.. it will afford me much pleasure to see you & Mr. Nicholas at my apartment tomorrow evening.. You will meet with some society which may prove agreeable to you & him.." And, by the way, b.y.o.b. ("Revd. Mr. Baird" was likely one of the famous American Presbyterian clergymen, Robert or one of his sons, Charles Washington or Henry Martyn.) Bold and attractive. .
