Condition: Très bon. Lettre autographe de 4 pages, signée A. I. H. Durham (1782-1844), Portsmouth le 18 octobre 1837, adressée à un homme non identifié, dans un français impeccable. Épouse de Sir Philip Charles Calderwood Durham (mariage en octobre 1817), Anne Isabella Henderson est née à Fordell, Fife, Écosse. Son mari militaire était Commandant-en-Chef à Portsmouth, alors qu'il reçu la visite de la reine Victoria à l'automne 1837. Elle mentionne dans sa lettre l'arrivée de la jeune Reine (Victoria), et l'acceuil enthousiaste que celle-ci a reçu à Brighton. "C'est une personne peu ordinaire. La présence d'esprit, la fermeté, la décision de caractère qu'elle fait voir sont très remarquables dans une femme aussi jeune et présagent un règne très intéressant". Après avoir décrit un voyage en Écosse, elle mentionne que Lord Elgin (la fille décédée de celui-ci était mariée en première noce avec Sir Philip Durham) a passé quelques jours avec eux et il ne parle que d'homéopathie (elle avoue qu'elle est incrédule à ce sujet). James Bruce (1811-1863), plus connu sous le titre de Lord Elgin, est un administrateur colonial et un diplomate britannique. Il est particulièrement connu comme étant le gouverneur-général de la colonie du Canada-Uni (1847-1854) ayant mis en place le gouvernement responsable, mais aussi pour avoir été vice-roi des Indes et pour avoir ordonné la destruction du palais d'Été en Chine. //// 4-page autograph letter, signed A. I. H. Durham (1782-1844), Portsmouth on October 18, 1837, addressed to an unidentified man, in impeccable French. Wife of Sir Philip Charles Calderwood Durham (marriage October 1817), Anne Isabella Henderson was born in Fordell, Fife, Scotland. Her military husband was Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, when he received a visit from Queen Victoria in the autumn of 1837. She mentions in her letter the arrival of the young Queen (Victoria), and the enthusiastic welcome which she received in Brighton. "She is an unusual person. The presence of mind, the firmness, the decision of character that she shows are very remarkable in such a young woman and portend a very interesting reign." After describing a trip to Scotland, she mentions that Lord Elgin (his deceased daughter was first married to Sir Philip Durham) spent a few days with them and he only talks about homeopathy (she admits that she is incredulous about it). James Bruce (1811-1863), better known as Lord Elgin, was a British colonial administrator and diplomat. He is particularly known as being the governor-general of the colony of United Canada (1847-1854) having established responsible government, but also for having been viceroy of India and for having ordered the destruction of the palace of Summer in China. …
