Autographed Letter Signed, "Emily Taylor," in brown ink, 9" x 7.5", 4 pages. August 20, 1843 This letter is written to friend and author, Hariet Martineau. It includes a great poem entitled, "The Slave." It opens: "Pity & prayers and pleadings for the Slaves!/ - These thou didst[sic] ask, and soon as ack'd, Is gone: / Yet still I drem'd a stronger claim behind, / And long I waited, hopeful for my kind:" The paper is soiled, with postmark and folds, and a tear in the center right edge of the back sheet. A beautiful poem and the bold signature make this a great lot!
