Happy Valentine's Day" and is signed by Lee: "Much love, Nelle."  Together with the original mailing envelope, addressed in Lee’s own hand and postmarked February 13, 2010.

Bruce Higgison was a New York neighbor of Harper Lee whom she described in a letter as "the kindest friend I have, and [...] the kindest person in general - in the world that is." During Lee's visits to her hometown in Alabama, Higgison kept her up-to-date on New York gossip via letters. (14863)
