Lear (Edward, landscape painter and writer, 1812-88) Autograph Letter signed to Sir John Simeon, 4pp., 8vo, c/o Mr. R.J. Bush, 32 Charing Cross Road, crossed out, Maison Guichârd, Cannes, France, 26th December 1869, thanking Simeon for an introduction to the Seely family, heaps extravagant praise on Mrs. Seely and urges the Simeon's to let her villa in Cannes, "Which the letter I shall divide into eds. ... I do not think I have known any one person so recently as I have Mrs. Seely, who has given me so full an idea of extreme goodness. If religious dogmas of original depravity be true at all, whey then it seems to me Mrs Seely has been overlooked in that remarkable arrangement... Was there even an instance of a man writing to another, offering a house after such a fashion by unauthorized proxy? No: but that does not prove that there are not exceptions to ordinary life, & this is one, I believe, when all parties are trustful & trustworthy, even if one of the 3 be a foolish poet painter...", a few ink stains, folds, slightly browned.
