[Sir George Otto Trevelyan, Liberal politician.] Autograph Letter Signed ('G O Trevelyan') to Craig Brown, regarding plans for a private memorial to William Ewart Gladstone.

2pp., 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged with pin holes. He has been 'advised that a private [last word underlined] memorial to Gladstone is the best course'. 'Publication', he has been told, would make the plan 'more exacting as giving a sense of importance'. Trevelyan would 'gladly, as M P for the burghs, forward such a memorial'. Gladstone had been intending to retire from politics at the end of 1882.
