Beschreibung

Front cover of letter with a 2d to pay lozenge cancel and a magenta circular cancel. The recipient was a writer of 9 novels, all now obscure, the address is 3 Park Square, Regents terrace, London. Historical Note* Known as John Campbell until 1782 and as The Earl of Breadalbane and Holland between 1782 and 1831, was a Scottish soldier and landowner. General in 1814. The recipient was the more historically interesting from a literary point, besides the novels and later to support herself and children she wrote a rather scandalous expose of George the IVth which was vilified by the society of Royalty in England. But it brought her enough to live on, (as like today, scandal sells). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 8529
