| Description | First part of letter addressed 'My dear Canning'. The author regrets that Canning [1770-1827, prime minister and parodist] broke off their correspondence: 'I loved you so much at Eton, and love the recollection of you so much, that I cannot resist making this attempt to hear from you'. He sends news of his activities and reports that he is 'going to join the blues' at Windsor. Any further pages are missing.
A sale card accompanying the item suggests that the letter is 'possibly by Brougham'. |
