Laid in loosely is an AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED by Harte on the publication's stationery dated 30 September 1870 declining a review. In part: "THE LIFE OF AUDUBON has already been reviewed in the OVERLAND." Letter and magazines housed in a custom-made cloth chemise and 1/2 brown morocco slipcase. The letter is badly faded and extremely difficult to read; the magazines have expected wear and some soiling but are intact and quite nice. Housed in a Fine slipcase.
