Blue Mountain Books & Manuscripts, Ltd.Professional sellerA humorous letter, full of personality, penned by Wilson to Edgar Allen Poe Newcomb who was then working in his father's architectural firm, Levi Newcomb & Son in Boston. Wilson appears to address his correspondent as "Mr. Newcomb Planner" and writes: "We are ready for the window plan when you are but don't let that interfere with your work or your digestion. I send you something bracing with which to drink my health. I send it direct to N. Scituate [a town in Massachusetts] -- as it is designed to be used there only." He then refers to a "Song", possibly "Two Maidens" by Newcomb, who was also a poet and composer. The song was published in the year of this letter, 1890.
