ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 7.5, House of Commons letterhead, March 10, 1897. Stanley expresses his sometimes discontent about the media. In part. 'In a country where the Press has unlimited liberty you must naturally expect not only common inveracity but also reckless statements about persons. America is not the only land I know where the Editor's office is a sinecure. Once in my young days I did apply the toe of my boot to a local editor to try to induce him to be more careful of his facts.' In fine condition, with a bit of scattered light toning. RRAuction COA.
