LAMB, Charles (1775-1834). Autograph letter signed ("C. Lamb") to Mr. Allsop. N.p., 29 May 1829.
1 page, 8vo, a few holes or tears from rough opening.
Lamb writes English stockbroker, author, and follower of radical politics, Thomas Allsop (1795-1880): "I do not know a soul that at my recommendation is likely to do what you wish to have done. I have considered all my friends round, and there is not one to whom I could apply with a chance of success. You know pretty well of whom they consist."
[With:] Mezzotint portrait engraving of Charles Lamb by Samuel Arlent Edwards (1862-1938), matted and framed.
Property from Historic Sengen House, Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York
