SIR LEWIS MORRIS
Handwritten letter sent to a fellow member of the Reform Club in London.
Autograph Letter signed: "Lewis Morris", 1 page, 4½x7. 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), Songs of Britain (1887), Harvest Tide: A Book of Verse (1900) and 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. Otherwise, fine condition.
