ALs, 1 page, Nov. 15, 1919. To Corporal Ira J. Friedman, U. S. General Hospital # 41, Staten Island, NY.

Book. On The Saint Hubert Hotel stationery, with integral blank, and with original addressed envelope. A warm letter, written 6 months before Howells' death, to a wounded doughboy recuperating in a Staten Island military hospital. "I am sending you a book of mine which I hope you wil accept; but I am sorry I cannot give you a list of my hundred big and little books. You will find this with the dates of each in 'Who's Who,' English or American... It has greatly touched me to know that you like my books, or get any cheer from them. Yours sincerely, W. D. Howells.".
