[Earl Stanhope; Nassau Senior, economist] Autograph Letter Signed Stanhope to Mr Senior [Nassau Senior, lawyer and economist] about the latter's recent Journals (France).

Two pages, 12mo, in narrow frame of stiffer paper, good condition. He thanks Senior for sending him the two volumes of your recent journals. I have not been able to read them through as rapidly as I could have wished since besides some business that could not wait I happened to have my house full of company. But I hope in a day or two to have an opportunity of returning them with all due care to your house, & I will not wait until then to thank you for the pleasure which I have derived from them. When one has not the good fortune to partake of the charming Parisian society, the best beyond question in the world, how welcome to find its leading features in the manner reproduced! [...]. Note: Presumably Stanhope is reading the Journals in Manuscript since they were not published until 1871, posthumously. Journals kept in France and Italy from 1848 to 1852 : with a sketch of the Revolution of 1848 / by Nassau William Senior ; edited by M[ary] C[harlotte] M[air] Simpson. Vol. I.[and 2.] Published London : H.S. King and Co., 1871.
