AQS on an off-white 4.5 x 7 sheet, in full: "'Whatever thy right hand findeth to do—do it with all thy might,' Henry M. Stanley, On the eve of leaving England to relieve Emin Pasha, Jan. 20-1887." In very good to fine condition, with light soiling, and two horizontal folds. Led by Stanley, the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition was to rescue Emin from eastern Africa, where he was under threat of attack. While preparing, he emphasized that his goal was one of humanitarian assistance rather than of military conquest. Three years later, in 1890, Stanley would publish the important In Darkest Africa, describing the expedition at length.
