Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Near Fine. SIMMS, WILLIAM GILMORE. (1806-70). American writer, poet, novelist, politician and historian from the American South. His writings achieved great prominence during the 19th century, with Edgar Allan Poe pronouncing him the best novelist America had ever produced. He is still known among literary… scholars as a major force in antebellum Southern literature; remembered for his strong support of slavery and for his opposition to Uncle Tom's Cabin, in response to which he wrote reviews and the pro-slavery novel: The Sword and the Distaff (1854). Scarce Autograph Letter Signed, "W. Gilmore Simms". One full page, octavo [approx. 5 x 8 inches]. New York, November 21, [c. 1860]. Even toning, else very fine condition. To "Dear Sir". Simms writes: "I regret to say that I am forced to decline abruptly any further continuance of my lectures in the North. Thus far, my subjects have given such offence and so much abuse follows my steps as a South Carolinian, that it is clear I should only hurt, not help, this institution that calls me to its desk. It is no small self-sacrifice in that I make, in foregoing a town from which I had promised myself much. But conscientiousness and self respect, equally require that I should make the sacrifice. I write promptly, accordingly, in order that you may have sufficient time to procure a proper substitute. I am sir, very respectfully, and regretfully, your obedient servant, W. Gilmore Simms". His letters are actively collected and are surprisingly scarce. A fine "on topic" letter like ours, deserves serious consideration for addition to any literary collection.
