Fine Autograph Letter to an unnamed correspondent
begging pardon “for apparent indifference to your most kind letter, I have been waiting for the completion of a plate (by my Brother) which I wished to send you with the Highland subject - my Brother has not been able to finish in the time allowed so we must have a little patience. Pray accept my thanks for your very kind intentions for my Billiard [?] amusement which I shall gladly... Those you gave me years back are charming if you remember their proportions - touching his R.H.P. Albert - I dare not approach the Court till I have done my large picture for the Queen - perhaps you had better address Sir C. Phipps on the subject you mentioned in you last. My Royal Picture was begun some years ago...”, 4 sides 8vo., St John’s Wood Road, headed paper with his monogram of red antlers, 15th May

LANSDOWNE
(William Petty-Fitzmaurice, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne, 2nd Earl of Shelburne, 1737-1805, Prime Minister)
Rare Autograph Letter Signed “Lansdowne” to an unnamed correspondent
saying that he is “very sorry that you should have the trouble of calling at my door so frequently as you mention without finding me, but I have been latterally out of town, and when I am in town I always go out at one o’clock unless prevented. I have the honour to inclose to you a draft to pay my subscription to Dr Cromford’s family, and I took the liberty of sending you the different epitaphs which have been sent me. I never rec’d the Latin Epitaph which is mentioned nor do I think there would be any propriety in a Latin Epitaph to be read in a retir’d Country Churchyard. If it depended upon me I should prefer the simplest of them, or one perhaps still more simple, but whatever epitaph Mrs Cromford and her friends preferr, I will take care to have properly executed this summer when I go into Hampshire...”, 2 sides 4to, Berkley Square, Sunday night, no date annotated in another hand
