Unbound. Zustand: Near Fine. Single leaf folded to make four pages, sent from Boston and dated November 12, 1879. Folded as mailed. Modest soiling at the folds, else near fine. The first three pages consist of a letter from Bacon (later the co-founder of publishing company Allyn and Bacon) responding to a letter from William Cullen Bryant, and concerning an article in the Spiritualist newspaper *Banner of Light* that was about to appear, detailing the Spiritualist practices of William Lloyd Garrison: "Mr. Garrison was a pronounced Spiritualist - always consistently and intelligently so, at least for the past twenty years. His frequent conversations with me, his attendance at my home where he met Mrs. Richmond (then Tappan), Hudson-Tuttle, and others of like character; his visits to Mrs. Hardy, his attendance at circles, spiritualist meetings &c., &c., evidence the fact beyond all cavil. Your few lines in connection with the pertinent extract from Pillsbury, will be in this weeks *Banner*. To-morrow eve Phillips lectures for the first time on Garrison. I wrote him to-day not to fail to emphasize G.'s Spiritualism." The final leaf of the letter is an Autograph Note Signed by William Cullen Bryant ("Bryant") and dated four days later, forwarding Bacon's letter to Parker Pillsbury: "The current no. of *The Banner* you will see contains your testimony to Mr. G's Spiritualism." He goes on to promote "Mr. Chadwick's new book 'The Faith of Reason' is almost ready (Roberts Bros. of Boston). Help its sales if you can. It will have 254 pages & be sold for $1 & will be a book after my own heart - having read it in proof, I speak advisedly." A nice interconnection of 19th Century progressive literary figures, clearly not above displaying their curiosity about Spiritualism.
