HOAR George F. 1826 1904
Typed Note Signed
The champion of civil service reform served Massachusetts for many years as representative and senator. TNS 1p 8" X 10" Washington DC 1901 January 4. Addressed to Walter R. Benjamin 1859-1940 the pioneering autograph dealer whose firm was run by daughter Mary Benjamin until her death not too many years ago. Very good. "Will you send me at Washington the Burke autograph contained in your last Bulletin #1 sent me this morning price $7.50." Strong bold signature with words "at Washington" in Hoar's hand as well. There are a number of historical Burkes this could have been referring to but it is likely that this American politician would have taken an interest in the British statesman. In any case one salivates at the thought! unknown
