Description

ALS, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, March 17, no year. Letter to Mrs. Wagg, in part: "I do know of an excellent man for your daughter's purpose, & am most happy to recommend him. I can do no full confidence in his ability or discretion. He is a capital master & a capital man, & his name & address are: Sergeant Thompson, Soho Square Gymnasium, Fencing Rooms, Soho, Square W. C…behind the Soho Bazaar on your right or you turn out of Oxford St. If you drop him a line he will come to you punctually—or if you mention my name perhaps he will be more punctual. But you may prefer to go & see him there. Still I hope the young lady will become a dangerous adversary or a robust specimen." In very good to fine condition, with some light staining and old adhesive residue to the first page.
