LETTER SIGNED BY BENJAMIN HARRISON REFUSING TO ASSIST WITH A BIOGRAPHY ON HIS LATE WIFE AND FIRST LADY WHO DIED THE PRIOR YEAR FROM TUBERCULOSIS The letter reads in part: “I do not think it would be appropriate for me to write, as you request, a biographical sketch of Mrs. Harrison for use in connection with your lectures. A good deal has been printed, and from friends at Washington and here you may be able, through some other source, to gather what you need. I am much obliged to you for your friendly interest in bringing her to the notice of your students in connection with other wives of our President.” “I DO NOT THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO WRITE, AS YOU REQUEST, A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF MRS. HARRISON” The letter is two pages on black-bordered personal letterhead, measures 7.75 by 4.75 inches, created on September 8, 1893 in Indianapolis, Indiana, and in very fine condition with minor separations to the folds and having been professionally attached to a larger sheet of paper.
