Description

ALS signed in the third person, “The Duke of Wellington,” one page, 4.75 x 7.25, March 7, 1840. Handwritten letter to Mr. Curtis, in part: “The Duke of Wellington presents His Comp’ts to W. T. Curtis. The Duke has nothing to say to inventions, much less to improvements of Rail Roads.” In very good to 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.
