About This Item
Amherst: No Publisher, 1902. Unbound. Good. Single sheet, folded into fourths. 10 ¼ by 6 ½ inches. A handwritten letter addressed to "Shorty", perhaps the author's sister or relative. Written from Amherst, Massachusetts, the letter relays news and anecdotes of college life, presumably Amherst College. The author mentions getting fired from his job milking cows, and recalls some details of several basketball games, including one against Wesleyan, and one against Trinity, in which he states they "played a regular muckers game, played rough and dirty." Last names of the next year's captain (Ahearn), manager (Snell) and assistant manager (Quigley) are included. Henshaw also described in cursory detail a drunken sleigh ride. GOOD condition. Horizontal and vertical fold creases present. Minor soiling, staining and wrinkling. Writing a bit faded.
