[James Bryce [Viscount Bryce; Lord Bryce], jurist and politician, written while British Ambassador to the United States.] Autograph Letter Signed ('James Bryce'), to 'Hope', arranging the return of spectacles he left at the Canadian Club.

3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. The letter begins: 'My dear Hope, I have told Canadian Club you are coming. If I left my spectacles in the Chancery, in their case as I think I did this forenoon, will you please put them into an envelope for me?' He will go over the following morning, 'at Manchester if not'. He is 'pretty sure to be over on Sunday', and if Hope can tell him 'by what train you pass through to Salem', he will 'come down to Pride's Crossing station & receive them from your hands there.' He concludes: 'Luckily I have a spare pair here to go on with till I recover those I left.'
