Incomplete Autograph Letter with the last page and signature removed to the Right Honorable William BAGWELL
(1776-1826, Irish Tory politician) in Cromwell in Ireland, saying he has received his letter regarding Major Bagwell. I had already informed Major Bagwell that I... don't have it in my power to comply with his wishes. The reasons are that there are above one hundred applications already upon my list from Officers wounded and whose Services deserve for me ever consideration and attention and respecting whose claims I cannot entertain a doubt. It is really very painful that I find myself under the necessity of giving you the same answer..., 2 sides 8vo., London,
Item Date: 1824
