Lot Description
DOUGLASS, Frederick (1817-1895). Autograph letter signed ("Fredk. Douglass"), to M. M. Rodgers. Washington DC, 30 November 1888.
1 page, 8vo, on a lined sheet, creased, toned, edges brittle.
In part: "Since you have so much to desire a letter by my own hand, though I have more of that kind of work to do than ought to be required of me, I take pleasure in obliging you. I am glad to know that you are devoting your time, thought and talents to the education of the colored people of the South."
Property from the Patrick Atkinson Collection, Minneapolis, Minnesota
