[with ALS] Publication: Princeton, Illinois: T.P. Streeter, Lessee, Republican Job Department, 1885 Description: Hardcover. First Edition. 6 x 8.5in. vi. 239pp. Publisher's cloth boards with gilt ruling and titling. Signed and briefly inscribed by the author on the second blank: "Richard Edwards from John H. Bryant. July 1885." An autograph signed letter is also laid-in from Bryant to Edwards thanking him for a prior letter and updating him on his health and social life. However, the main portion of the letter is a continued discussion about their "region," it's peculiarities and natural beauty. Richard Edwards was a noted Welsh American Educator who lived in Princeton, Illinois, where the book was published and, evidently, had an extensive correspondence with Bryant regarding the area. Bryant's prose is poetic and emotional throughout. VERY GOOD.
