NATHANIEL PARKER WILLIS. Check filled out and signed: "N P Willis", 6¾x2½. Newburgh, 1858 February 5. Drawn on the Quassaick Bank, payable to "Mr Nicoll" for $3.88. Poet, journalist and editor Nathaniel Parker Willis (1806-1867), who founded the "New York Mirror" in 1829 and the successful "Home Journal" some years later, remained an editor and journalist until his death. Known for his smooth, sentimental style, Willis wrote both religious and secular poetry and won great popularity for his prose and was admired by such literary luminaries as Walt Whitman and William M. Thackeray. His works include Sacred Poems, Romance of Travel, Pencillings (sic) by the Way, Out-Doors at Idlewild (his country home), People I Have Met and "Poeros", published the year he signed this check. Lightly creased with folds, not at signature. ¼-inch tear at upper edge, which is lightly soiled. Cut bank cancellation touches payee's name, stray ink marks above the "N" and "P" of signature. Pinhead-size stain at upper right blank margin. Overall, fine condition.
