Major-General in British Army and East India Company (1818–1908) who became involved in military communications and played a key role in developing telegraphic infrastructure. ALS signed “Fr. J. Goldsmid,” one page, 4 x 6, August 17, 1888. Letter to his cousin Louisa. In full: “I am very sorry to hear of Gerard’s relapse, and do hope you will already have had better news of him. As regards your most kind invitation, I cannot say what day I should be able to leave town, but it could not be before Tuesday the 24th, for I am perfectly overwhelmed with work, and cannot complete the heaviest part for a day or two. But I will write later; and do send me a line with accounts of Gerard. Mary was a great loss to us. She is such a charming companion, and so full of sense and appreciation.” In fine condition, with a bend to the left side and uniform shade of toning.
