Description: 1871. 1871. - Harcourt inscribes a 3-1/2 inch high by 5-5/8 inch wide partial sheet of note paper: "The rights of women 1871" and signs himself "W. V. Harcourt". Pakington responds below: "should always be maintained but never overstrained / John S. Pakington". The paper, which is mounted on a slightly larger piece of card, is embossed in blind at left with a device and the words "Amor Patria". The left edge is slightly rippled from the mounting. Very good.
