HENRY M STANLEY (1841-1904) British explorer who found Livingstone at Ujiji. ALS, 3pp, Mar 28, 1898, 8vo, House of Commons embossed stationery, to Mrs Rucker, good content re Africa.

If any one else spoke of course it would not matter, but you can easily understand why one of the Founders of the Congo State should not attack France for her questionable acts in Nigeria...If however you should care for a short exposition of the South African question...I should gladly place myself at your service..."
