ALS signed “Nelson & Bronte,” one page, 7.5 x 9, March 16, 1802. Written from Merton, a letter to John Polion, in full: "I have been favor'd with your letter of the 3rd respecting your nephew but I much fear that I have not influence enough to get him either a Cadetship to India certainly not a Lieut'y in the Marines as his age precludes his entry into that service as I am told by a new regulation. The former I will certainly ask for of some of the Directors, and on all occasions I shall always be happy to think myself your old & attached friend." Reverse of second integral page addressed by Nelson, who adds his signature below, "Nelson & Bronte." In very good condition, with creasing, and old repairs to fold splits and seal-related paper loss.
