Lot Description
LAFAYETTE, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de (1757-1834). Two-word annotation ("Lord Holland"), accomplished on:
VASSALL-FOX, Henry Richard, 3rd Baron Holland of Holland (1773-1840). Autograph letter signed ("Vassall Holland"), to Lafayette. N.p., 11 December 1830. 2 1/2 pages, 4to, on a bifolium. Vassal-Fox writes recommending a colleague (Palmerton?) to Lafayette: "He is good enough to think that ta line from me may be useful to him, & modest enough to imagine that this own exertions...are not sufficient to attract your attention to him. He is an in truth one of our most considerable public men & particularly distinguished both in & out of office." He writes about affairs in Portugal, Peru, Paris, and Belgium.
Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
