A strip of document tape has been mounted down the right edge of the verso, covering up 1 word of the note. Good. Williams writes regretting he is unable to dine with Mrs. Ford because of a previous engagement. The note is accompanied by a newspaper obituary.General Sir William Fenwick Williams, 1st Baronet of Kars [1800-1883] was born in Nova Scotia. He was a renowned military leader for the British during the Victorian era, remembered for his gallant defense of the town of Kars during the Crimean War. He and other British officers inspired the poorly equipped Turkish soldiers to repel Russian attacks for three months. Starvation and lack of ammunition finally forced them to surrender, but they did so on their own terms. Williams was imprisoned but was treated very well and was released when the war ended in 1856. A knighthood, a baronetcy with a pension for life and many other honors were bestowed on Williams for his actions. From 1865 to 1867 he was the first Lieutenant Governor of his birth province of Nova Scotia.

Written while Lewis was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Palmerston's government. Begins: 'Dear Sir Cornewall, / I take the liberty of asking you for… your influence for Dr. Nolan as Secretary & Librarian of the London Library'. He explains that Nolan is 'the Author of the "History of the War with Russia", and is the author of many articles in the Press and various Periodicals, in favor of the present Government & Lord Palmerston.' Nolan is 'personally known' to Williams, and if Lewis can assist him in his election or nomination' he will be much obliged. Nolan is an obscure figure. He did not succeed in his application.
