Description

This is a handwritten letter from Harriet Audubon to Miss Susan S. Towles written January 30, 1930. "America My Country" seal with turkey is embossed at the top of the letter. The transcription is as follows: "Harriet Audubon 103 West Ormsby Louisville, Ky Jan. 30th. 1930 Dear Miss Towles, I enclose a letter written by my Grandfather to his friend Dr. Richard Harlan of Philadelphia. The autograph had been cut off before the letter was given to me. I do not own any letter from which the signature had not been cut off. I remember, as a little child, my father, or uncle, (I do not remember which) asking him to write a number of signatures, because so many people asked for them. The enclosed is one of those signatures. Your most cordially, Harriet B. Audubon"
