ALS signed “B. Disraeli,” 4.5 x 6.75, Hughenden Manor letterhead, September 5, 1889. Letter to James W. Hudson, in full: "I delayed replying to your first letter from sheer unwillingness to decline an invitation so highly honorable to the person to whom it was addressed; & at the same time, from the difficulty of making arrangements, wh: referred to a distant date. I hardly know whether the inevitable uncertainty of my movements justifies my entering into an engagement, wh: I might, from uncontrollable circumstances, be prevented from fulfilling, but the deep interest, wh: I take in your association renders it impossible for me to resist your second appeal. The Quart: Sess: for this County are on the 18th Oct. & if not inconvenient to the Societies, I would propose to reach Manchester on Monday the 24th of the same month; & I shall be glad, if my presence can, in any way, assist a great cause." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing, and an old tape stain along the top edge.
