HOWE, JULIA WARD. 1819-1910. Autograph Letter Signed ("Julia Ward Howe") to Henry M. McCracken, Chancellor of New York University, 2 1/4 pp, 175 x 112 mm (conjoining leaves), finished on the verso of the first, Newport, RI, October 29th, 1909, folded. Prominent feminist and author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" writes to the chancellor of New York University, apologizing for failing to reply regarding a "vacancy offered me...," continuing: "If it were still in time, I should gladly say yes." A note laid in by a Dodge descendant speculates that the vacancy could have been for a portrait bust in the NYU rotunda, although it could also have been a position on the board of the University founded in part by her father.
