1813 WILLIAM WILBERFORCE. Partial Autograph Letter Taking an Interest in the Recipient's "Immortality."

Unfortunately, sheet one has now deperated into the ether, likely never to be returned to the present sheet. On the up side, the present is signed by Wilberforce twice and makes a wonderful framing example at a reasonable price.

Side one is the address panel, in Wilberforce's hand, "Coventry August Sixteen 1813 W.freeWilberforce. G. F. F. Vincent Esq. No 11 Duke St. Adelphia. London. 

On the reverse, "And above all, taking a real interest in your well being as a candidate for Immortality.

My dear sir

Yours very truly

WWilberforce [The signature and postscript in Wilberforce's hand; the preceding secretarial]

P.S. A complaint in my Eyes obliges me to dictate - you had better **** have a copy of Mr. Ward's Letter. My amanuencis is fully **** as my own eyes are very indiff."

No textual loss; seal loss as usual. 1.5 inch tear past seal loss.
