British philosopher and civil servant (1806–1873) who was an influential contributor to social theory, political theory, and political economy. ALS signed “J. S. Mill,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, September 29, 1848. From “India House,” Mill writes to an unidentified gentleman. In part: “l return Capt. Taylor's letter with many thanks. You should work the India Board as hard as you can. lf you know Waterfeld you may use my opinion in a manner which l could not with propriety do myself. Waterfeld always thinks for himself but if inclined in the manner we wish he may be stengthened by the opinion of another person conversant with the facts of the case. Whatever may be the Cause that is working against Capt. Taylor, I am convinced Fraser has nothing to do with it. Fraser as far as I know has always written…very much in his favour—but Fraser is a man who shrinks from responsibility. Capt. Taylor or rather his correspondant [sic] is quite in error if he supposes that the Nuzzerana business has done Capt. Taylor any harm. Fraser did not agree with them on that subject which the home authorities & Sir H. Harding did & do most strenuously.” In very good to fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, partial separations to hinge, a couple small fold separations, and mild toning, mainly along bottom.
