Book Description
ALS. 1pg. 7 ½” x 8 ½”. September 25, 1811. Holland House. An autograph letter signed “Sydney Smith”: “I beg leave to mention my intention of becoming a candidate for the office of Preacher to Loyd Inn – and to solicit the honor of your support upon this occasion. Should I be so fortunate as to succeed, I hope that my candidate both as a gentleman, and a Clergyman will give the Society no cause to repent of their appointment.” The letter has a narrow tape strip down the left side that touches a few letters, but is in fine condition. The American Book Prices Current shows no Smith letters ever selling at auction.
