Deer Island near Newburyport, MA, 9 August 1916. Letter. Normal folds from mailing. Near Fine. One-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. In full: "My Dear General: What a splendid letter that is about Greenland! Full of magnanimity, and nobility. I was delighted with it, and felt most proud and glad of you!" Spofford was a widely-published American author whose career spanned more than six decades and included many literary genres. When Emily Dickinson was asked whether she had read Spofford's work CIRCUMSTANCE, Dickinson replied, “I read Miss Prescott's CIRCUMSTANCE, but it followed me in the dark, so I avoided her" (ATLANTIC MONTHLY, October 1891).
