LONGFELLOW, HENRY WADSWORTH.
Autograph Letter Signed ("Henry W. Longfellow"), 1 p, 8vo (with integral blank leaf), Cambridge, July 2, 1880, to Mr. Anthony, regarding a publication, lightly creased and toned, otherwise fine.
In part: "I hesitate about the title to be given to the portrait illustrating 'Stay, Stay at Home.' / Would it not be better to veil it in a little more mystery?" "Stay, Stay at Home" was first published in 1877; this letter probably refers to the publication of The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
