Letters, 1834-1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207150552

This collection contains twenty-one miscellaneous papers of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, including several brief letters, two original copies of verse, and printed references to Longfellow. The letters refer to recommendations to publishers for unknown authors and to Bowdoin College for a friend who sought a faculty appointment. The addressees are frequently unidentified. The last two stanzas of Longfellow's "The Bridge" are included, as are 1941 reprints of a Civil War stanza that Roosevelt sent to Churchill who used it as a public radio message to Allied troops. A brief card is included which noted Longfellow's incapacitation one month prior to his death.
