Kinglake, Alexander William

Als to Madame Mohl

London: A. W. Kinglake, [1880-1881]. ALS from British historian and travel writer A. W. Kinglake, author of Eothan, to a Madame Mohl, thanking her for her introductions to important French political figures Barthélemy St. Hilaire, and the President of the Republic, (most likely Jules Ferry, under whom St. Hilaire was minister for foreign affairs from 1880 to 1881). The letter is written on a single sheet of notepaper folded once to make 4 panels. Some age-toning and soiling, but overall Very Good. .
