WORDSWORTH, William (1770-1850). Autograph Letter Signed ("W. Wordsworth"), to H. C. Robinson. N.p. June 1826.
1 page, 8vo, on a bifolium, addressed in Wordsworth's hand on an integral leaf, some minor staining, lower margin trimmed irregularly.
Wordsworth writes Henry Crabb Robinson (1775-1867), English lawyer and diarist, about a recent payment: "pray tell me who it was that gave that unfavorable report of the Provincial Bank Thames you mentioned yesterday... When he gave it and what opportunities to guide...he has for [making?] a sound judgement. I cannot afford to [?] that quicky, and as you I and ours know C-- though [?] and sagacious is not infallible."
Property from Historic Sengen House, Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York
