Woolwich, 29 December 1858. General Sir William Fenwick Williams (1800-1883), the defender of Kars. Williams surrendered Kars (a fortified city in Turkish Armenia) to the Russians with honour in November 1855, and went into captivity in Russia. In 1856 he returned to England as a hero and was created baronet "of Kars". Williams went to Canada as commander of the forces. In 1865 he was given the government of Nova Scotia. "I have marked the 7th proximo in the book of fate, & will take up my lodging for the night, in order to'shoulder my crutch' upon the campaign across the water!".

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Signed 'W F Williams' and docketed by the recipient 'Sir Fenwick Williams of Kars'. 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.
