English poet and author (1770–1850) of ‘Lyrical Ballads,’ a collection inspired by the beauty of the English Lake District. ALS signed “Wm. Wordsworth,” one page both sides, 5 x 8, April 21, 1885. Letter to an unidentified gentleman. In part: “When I wrote my former letter, I was not aware of any pending engagement that would prevent my having the pleasure of seeing you here, but I have since received an invitation (in my case tantamount to a command) to the Queen’s Ball that is to be given Friday evening. I am therefore obliged to leave home immediately, but as this may induce you to begin your tour in a southern direction, I shall cherish the hope that we may meet in London.” In very good condition, with uniform toning, show-through from writing on reverse, rusty paperclip mark to top edge, and several ink blotches to text, not affecting legibility.
