King of Great Britain and Ireland (1765–1837) from 1830 to 1837, who earned the sobriquet 'Sailor King' for his youthful service in the Royal Navy. LS signed “William R,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 9.25, October 12, 1835. Letter to the Bishop of Hereford, conveying "His sincere acknowledgements for the admirable Sermon which he preached yesterday in the Chapel of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich," satisfaction derived "from listening to a Discourse so able and so impressive, so creditable in a religious light to a Christian Divine, in a moral point of view to a distinguished Member of Society…the Sketch which it took of the Events of the Revolutionary War which was so appropriate to the occasion." In fine condition, with a light stain on the signed page.
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.
