WORDSWORTH, William

Short Autograph Letter Signed

A brief letter written on two sides of an octavo sheet concerning a dinner invitation. Some older but neat restoration to the folds, else a nice, very good example. In full: "My dear Colo. Howard, Many things have prevented (among others my old enemy inflammation in the eyes) our getting to dinners within the fortnight from the date of your kind letter, according to your [word crossed out] wish. With best remembrances to Mrs. Howard and yourself, as well Rev. [name indecipherable], I remain, my dear sir, ever faithfully yours, Wm. Wordsworth. Rydel Mount. Friday 12th Octbr."
