Item Details

Description

Thurston, Howard. Howard Thurston ALS to his daughter Jane. Jan 22, 1922. A deeply personal holographic letter, Thurston writes, in part, “I am sitting in the lobby of this wonderful hotel, listening to circulating much by a very large orchestra…Am very lonesome although there are a hundred or more people within sight.” “…the only ones who really count in my life are you and lovely mother.” Thurston goes on to tell Jane “you are a million times more precious to mother and me tha[n] a whole world full of diamonds.” Thurston goes on at length about his love and affection for Jane in the balance of the letter. One 4to sheet of hotel stationery. Signed, “Devotedly Dad.”
