Autograph Letter Signed to an unnamed correspondent,
thanking him for the “notice of my friend Mrs Edward Romilly & of the kind note enclosed with it. She was a charming and amiable woman & it was impossible to be even slightly acquainted with her without feeling that the genuine & graceful... of her manner sprang from a root of very real goodness. Her husband was... an intimate friend of my brother’s & from a very early period of my life I have known Mr & Mrs Rouilly well... for a number of years of my residence in America - your name... appeals also to friendly associations of mine with Mr & Mrs Robert McIntosh - with both of whom I was for many years very intimate. I am glad that you found anything in my book to assume or interest you...”, 4 sides 8vo., Queen Anne’s Mansions, Westminster, Friday 9th, no date
