London, England, 1882 December 12. On letterhead of the Reform Club, Pall
Mall, S.W. In full: "It is proposed to invite Mr. Gladstone to a
dinner in the club. Would you wish your name attached to the preliminary
requisition to the committee? Yours very truly;" Sir Lewis Morris
(1833-1907) was a poet of the Anglo-Welsh school. Born in South Wales, he
studied at Jesus College in Oxford and graduated in 1956. The poet published
several works including Songs of Two Worlds (1875), The
Epic of Hades (1877), The Ode of Life (1880), Poetical Works
(1882), Songs Unsung (1883), Gycia: A Tragedy in Five Acts (1886),

The New Rambler from Desk to Platform (1905). In 1895, Morris was
knighted by Queen Victoria. The Reform Club was built in Pall Mall in London
in 1836 as a clubhouse for supporters of the Great Reform
Act of 1832. The club became less political over the years and now serves as a
social function. Normal mailing folds. Lightly creased. Slightly toned at edges.
