DONALD GRANT MITCHELL
The American author writes a response, signs name in black ink
Autograph note signed: "Don G. Mitchell" in black ink. 4¼x2½ clipping. In full: "I don't know if I'm imagining I've been answered before: if so, I will rate a No. 2". Donald Grant Mitchell (1822-1908), also known by his penname Ik Marvel, was the grandson of Revolutionary War-Era politician Stephen Mix Mitchell, who originally attended Yale College and studied law and even was a member of the Skull and Bones society, before ultimately deciding to study literature. After a brief stint as a U.S. consul in Venice, Italy (1853-1854), Mitchell wrote his most well-known work, Reveries of a Bachelor, or a Book of the Heart (1850) (which was one of Emily Dickinson's favorite books), which explores the dream-like lives Americans were living in at the time. His other works include Dream Life, a Fable of the Seasons (1851), My Farm of Edgewood (1863), About Old Story Tellers (1877), and American Lands and Letters (1897). Piece torn in upper left corner. Toned. Creased throughout. Small stains throughout. Ink notes in unknown hand in bottom margin. Adhesive stains on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
