Eminent British physician (1828–1896) who was a pioneer in anaesthesia. LS signed “B. W. Richardson,” one page, lightly-lined both sides, 4.75 x 7.75, personal letterhead, January 20, 1877. Letter declining a position. In part: “I am exceedingly glad to hear that the Winter Gardens at Leamington is to be an accomplished fact and am much honoured by your request that I should become a Director…I feel it is quite out of the range of my professional and scientific work to undertake such duties.” In fine condition, with some trivial soiling.
