[Thomas Edmund Harvey, Quaker politician.] Autograph Letter Signed ('T. Edmund Harvey') to a former colleague at the British Museum ('Mr. <Aldrick?>'), reminiscing on his 'five happy years' there.

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. He thanks him for his letter, and is pleased to be remembered. 'I have the pleasantest recollections of your kindness and courtesy to an obscure junior, and I look back with very pleasant feelings too to the five happy years I spent as a member of the British Museum staff.' He is sorry at the thought of the 'many honored figures' who are no longer there, but hopes 'still to find one or two who remember me'. He continues with references to the recipient's 'occasional articles in "Notes and Queries"', and to his 'reminiscence of the good old Quaker miller'. He sometimes meets 'Pollard & J. A. Herbert [...] at a little religious discussion society', but 'too seldom' meets with 'other old B.M. Colleagues'.
