Fantastic ALS signed “Ernest,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, Wetherby Gardens letterhead, July 29, 1901. Shackleton writes to a dear “old chap,” in full: “I did not know your private address or would have written to thank you long ago for your present. I don’t deserve to have people thinking of me in this way, and I cannot tell you how much I value your links. I am wearing them now. At 19 they think they just the thing; for I only had a small 9ct pair before. The cushion has also arrived and is splendid I am thanking your mother and through her your sister. I hope old chap that you are getting over the disappointment of your cricket tour. You had a lot of sympathy in Wetherby Gardens.” Central horizontal and vertical fold, light toning along the edges, a few trivial areas of spotting, and light mirroring in the bottom half of the first page, otherwise fine condition. Rare and highly desirable in this format, this letter was written just two days before the departure of Shackleton’s first Antarctic mission, the Discovery Expedition.
