Third-person handwritten letter, in full: "Mr. John Hunter's comp'ts and will meet Sharp on Friday next the 30th at one o'clock precisely." Affixed to a slightly larger card and in fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
