English politician and poet (1802–1839). ALS signed “Winthrop Praed,” one page, 8 x 10, November 6, 1838. Praed writes John Francklin. In part: “On the day on which you were so good as to accompany me to the voters in your neighborhood, I remember that we omitted to see one, with whom I was to have shaken hands after dinner. Your good cheer put the good man out of my head, and my neglect of him has only lastly been stinging my conscience; the more painfully, as Mrs. Francklin has made us laugh before dinner by telling us that my worthy had said, ‘Mr. Praed would never think of the likes of him.’ I am sure Mrs. Francklin will remember who it was that so modestly, & up to this time so justly, anticipated my forgetfulness; and she will enable you to kindly repair my error by delivering the enclosed card…Mrs. Praed joins me in compliments to yourself & Mrs. Francklin.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, creasing, scattered small holes, missing paper at the top and bottom from opening, scattered soiling, pencil notations, and show-through from writing on opposing sides. Letters from Praed are rare, with this one penned less than a year before his death.
