Item description from seller

One page 4to with address leaf, no place, 22 August [1831]. A letter written after the death of George IV and long after their final separation, regarding legal documents. Forster was to become one of Mrs Fitzherbert's own executors. 'I receiv'd your letter at Tunbridge from which place I return'd here on Saturday. I am glad you approve of the Deeds Mr Spedding forwarded to you. Whenever you have thoroughly investigated the papers & will let me know I shall be very glad to see you here.' Samuel Forster is frequently mentioned by Shane Leslie (Mrs Fitzherbert, 1939) and The Letters of Mrs Fitzherbert, 1940, but the present letter appears to be unpublished. With a small engraved portrait after the painting by Thomas Gainsborough. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT at 20%.
