I can’t believe how lucky I was to pick up this letter at a NY sale. TW Higginson was an abolitionist, author, and the Colonel of the 1st Negro Regiment during the Civil War. He was also a mentor, friend to Emily Dickinson. Museum material. #found #civilwar #foundletters #twhigginson #1859 #history #massachusetts #oldpaper estatesales #urbanarcheology
