Letter to Captain Franklin. In part: “Accept my best thanks for the highly valued present you are so good as to make to me of the Narrative of your second journey to the Shores of the Polar sea. Its value is still much increased by being indebted for it to its celebrated author…Permit me to inclose an order for the Duchess of Orleans’s box this evening at the Opera which we have thought might be agreeable to Mrs. Franklin & to yourself.” Central horizontal and vertical fold, one through a single letter of signature, several repaired tears, a few edge chips, and scattered toning and soiling, otherwise very good condition. Accompanied by a separate original leaf, folded to a size of 4.25 x 3.25, addressed by Louis Philippe to “Captain Franklin, R.N. &c &c &c Rue de Castiglione, No. 9 A Paris,” franked by him in the lower left, “Duc d’Orleans.” Reverse bears a complete black wax royal seal.
