Brief note on "University of Chicago / Office of the President" letterhead thanking Gates "for writing me again and sending me a copy of 'Amberglow'.

The up-and-coming 25-year-old Lincoln enthusiast self-published this essay in an edition of 300 copies. Good plus. Outer wrappers (only) a tad soiled and a bit edge-chipped, but internally near -- tight and bright. Uncommon. …
