BULLER
(Sir Redvers, 1839-1908, Commander-in-chief in South Africa)
Autograph Letter Signed to Hunter
saying that his “company ‘The Goldsmiths’ would be highly honoured if you could dine with them at the next Court dinner... I fancy they would ask you to make a speech, but it is a private dinner, no reporters, and you could safely say as much or as little as you wished. The wine is excellent, and I think you would find it a pleasant little gathering. I shall be so glad if you are able to come. I thought it would be pleasanter for you if I thus approached you before you were sent a formal card...”, 2 sides 8vo., Government House, Farnborough headed mourning paper, 14th March
