This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 8/31/2008

Autograph Letter Signed, “F.G. Harding” 1p. quarto, February 23, 1859, and reads “Dear Edward on Monday you did not succeed in the purchase of Josephine. Mr. Hane told Mr. Baker that Mr. Lyle would be at home on Tuesday morning to come in and see him. I did not then expect to get her and felt very much disappointed. I thought I would make another effort and hope now to succeed as Mr. Bakers said they would accept of your proposal...” Fine.
