Autograph letter signed, to his friend and fellow author Bayard Taylor "I am quite grieved that I was from home when you visited Sunnyside last Saturday, and that you did not make yourself at home notwithstanding my absence. Why did you not take command of my little library, such as it is, or while away the sultry day under the trees? My womenkind would have been happy to give you the best entertainment the house afforded. One of my nieces hastened downstairs to welcome you and was extremely disappointed at finding you had gone. I trust you will act better on any future occasion, and will feel assured that whoever is in the house will be happy to receive you, and should nobody be at home, that the house itself is at your service"; adding: "I feel very much obliged to you for the volume you were so kind as to leave, and promise myself great pleasure in once more accompanying you in your African travels", 2 pages, 8vo, integral blank, one corner repaired, short tear to blank margin, Sunnyside, 12 September 1854
