DANA, RICHARD HENRY]. Autograph letter signed ("Rich. H. Dana Jr.") to Francis Henry Underwood, abolitionist and founder of the Atlantic Monthly (first issue, Nov. 1857). Cambridge [Mass.], 26 February 1856. One sheet, 8vo, folded to make four pages; text covering three pages; signed again by Dana on the forth, otherwise blank page; considerable residue from previous glueing partially impinging on Dana's signature; two small holes in letter's vertical "spine" at fold . An interesting letter in which Dana, sailor, abolitionist, and author of Two Years Before Mast (1840), celebrates Nathan Prentiss Banks's 1856 election as Speaker of the House as a blow against slavery: "...The first lesson it [Banks's election] has taught the friends of freedom is, not to be afraid of victory, and the next is that victory is possible..."
