Description

A.L.S., 2pp. 4to., London, July 14, 1832. In part: ‘...I have seen your brother and given him letters to my friends... The reform bill being now the law of the land...I am too old and gouty to take an active part. I mean in a steamboat to embark tomorrow for [?] Penzance, then to [?] Devon the place of my ancestors...The King has been graciously pleased to make me a Grand Cross Knight of Honor...This bauble comes too late in life to be of any service to me, as I am unable to walk a yard...I have had my day, and as poor yankee Boston boy, done very well...’ Signed at the conclusion. Some tears along the edges, not intruding on text, and light chipping at the right margin. Overall very good.
