This is a letter written by Roger Wolcott(1847-1900), who served as the 39th Governorof Massachusetts, from 1897 to 1900.
Wolcott had previously served as the 36th
Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts.from 1893 to 1897.Wolcott was an attorney who was activeinRepublican politics, and who was alsoinvolved in numerous businesses andcivic organizations.As best I can tell, the letter reads as follows:
My dear Mrs. Parker (?), I accept your
very kind invitation
with pleasure.
Our trip down was
certainly a most un-
comfortable one, but I am
sure the speediest restora-
tive will be a \"mushroom
supper\". The very idea
of it has already pro-
duced a most bene-ficial effect.
Very sincerely yrs,
Roger WolcottCamporillo (?)

NOTE- the question marks indicatea word that I cannot quite make out.
\"Camporillo\", or whatever that wordmaybe, is evidently a place whereWolcottwas staying at when he wrote this letter.The letter is not dated. As Wolcott diedin 1900, my guess is that the letter datesto about 1890, although it could be older.
The letter is written on a folded piece of paper.
Unfolded, it is about 7\" by 9\".
The letter has a few very small remnantsof old tape attached, possibly from beingtaped to an old scrapbook.
Otherwise, it is in very good condition,with some moderate wear.

The letter comes with acertificate of authenticity from

JG Autographs. The letter and the certificate are

enclosed in a plastic page, which is open at the top,
