BAKER
(Sir Samuel White, 1821-1893, Explorer & Sportsman)
Fine Long Autograph Letter Signed to “Mr Warner”
saying that “with much regret I must ask you to excuse me from your great day. I write this from my bed where I am confined with that detestable compliant the gout, and the moment I can move I must be off somewhere, either to Bath or Buxton, to go through a regular course. This country does not agree with me. We arrived in England 1 May and I have already had three attacks of gout. I was seven months absent and was entirely free from it. I have written to F. Watts our Secretary to resign the Presidentship of the Council, as I really feel that I shall be away so much that I cannot possibly make any definite engagements. I also feel that the present Earl of Devon should be invited to fill the position, his great name and local influence, as a successor to the late Earl (who was the backbone of the Newton College) would give an importance to the Establishment that would be an immense benefit...”, 3 sides 8vo., Sandford Orleigh, Newton Abbot, 13th July
