Description

8vo. 1 p. on bifolium. With autograph address on the reverse. To the Scottish journalist William Jerdan (1782-1869), from 1817 to 1850 editor in chief of the "Literary Gazette": "The Society intends to substitute a f te at their Garden for the usual annual dinner at the Freemasons Hall. It will be well done and some time in June will be the time. We should be glad if you would notice the probability of the occurrence in the L.G. Of course our object is among other things to give the Ladies an opportunity of doing something more than looking at our fine things [.]". - Slightly dusty and small tears to edges; traces of old folding and remains of seal; small tears on fol. 2 from opening.
