1 page, 3 x 5 inches, consisting of 16 lines and more than one 170 words, not dated but certainly from 1910, relaying accounts of her mental well-being and her attempt at viewing Haley's Comet, in full: "Thank you so much for calling, and I do wish I hadn't missed you! I came under escort straight out to this nice little sanitarium, to stay a week and be pawed and petted; then on the first of February I hope to be mustered out, and to return to my lair on Pinckney Street. My spirits rise to your remark about loathing to be prudent! But I would willingly see others so, wouldn't you? My mother, I am glad to say, is almost well. My benighted better eye has not yet beheld the Comet: but I now lie in wait for it, as soon as these clouds scatter. You see, your enthusiasm has wrought good, as I needed reminding there were divers heavenly High Jinks which I have come near missing altogether. Please give Prof. Palmer my grateful greeting for his live letters, ever so welcome. With every best wish, you bonnie lass." Slight wrinkling with a half-inch tear at the top margin; otherwise in very good condition. Due to heavy collecting in recent years by university and historical institutions, Guiney is now considered very scarce in autographed letters signed. Popular American poet, essayist, and editor, born in Roxbury, Massachusetts. In 1901 she moved to Oxford, England to focus on her writing but soon began to suffer from bad health and was no longer able to create poetry. She died of a stroke at the age of 59.
