ALS signed “W. M. Thackeray,” one page, 4 x 4.5, June 10. Thackerary extends an invitation, in part: “I wish you would come to tea afterwards. I mean after the leg of mutton. I have only asked 2 or 3 select ladies…should be very glad of course if the great man of Chelsea would come, and if Mrs. Tewksbury also would like a cup of our best Congo,” adding a postscript, “I offer to do things handsome…” In very good condition, with uniform shade of toning with heavier areas along the edges, scattered areas of damp staining, a mild haloing effect throughout the majority of the text, and a small area of which is affecting three letters of the signature.
