British soldier and statesman (1769–1852) who earned immortality for his stunning defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo and who later served in the British government, including a brief tenure as Prime Minister. ALS signed “Wellington,” one page, 4.75 x 7.25, April 11, 1841. Letter in his difficult to decipher hand to General Sir Willoughby Gordon. In part; “When I return to London…I will at that Meeting suggest an arrangement for the gratification of the Commander of the Royal Military Asylum.” Second integral page bears an address panel in Wellington’s hand. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, a couple through single letters of signature, paper loss to second page from red wax seal, and some scattered light toning.
