BERESFORD (Admiral Lord Charles, 1846-1919, M.P. for Portsmouth, Lover of ‘Darling Daisy’, Frances, Countess of Warwick)

Letter Signed to Charles COLLETTE (1842-1924, Stage Actor and Composer and Comedy Writer) addressed to him at the Savage Club, asking him to “thank all my brother Savages for their kind wire. It was no use replying by telegram as you would all have gone but I appreciated it very much...”, 2 sides 8vo., with original envelope, York, 11th January

Collette was noted for his work in comedy in his long career onstage. He was a long-standing and popular member of the Savage Club.
In 1898 Beresford was promoted to rear-admiral and again entered Parliament, this time representing York, though he spent much of his time in China representing the Associated Chambers of Commerce. He spent 100 days in China, and on his return to London, spent 31 days writing The Break-Up of China.
