RALPH WALDO EMERSON
(1803 - 1882) American poet and friend of Alcott, Thoreau and Hawthorne, he was the American advocate of transcendentalism. A.L.S. 'R. W. Emerson', 3pp. 8vo., Concord, Oct. 24, 1860 to Ira F. Hart, a descendant of Deacon Stephen Hart who was a founder of Cambridge, Mass. and Hartford, Ct. In part: 'I cannot say with perfect certainty today, but it seems to me that I can best come to Elmira, on Wednesday, January 9, if that time fits your convenience. I propose to go to Owego on the 10th & to Binghamton on the 11th. If my correspondents can agree with this arrangement, in a few days I will make it certain.' In fine condition. Emerson was undoubtedly planning a lecture series, and having met John Brown only a year earlier, abolition would have been a central topic of his discourses.
