Autograph letter signed, Bordeaux, no date

Wordsworth (John, classical scholar).           To Mr Graves in Dublin, giving details of a debt owed by the Greer family, and with only the following political reference “... the French press is muzzled. We shall probably hear tomorrow or the next day of the millions who have voted for Napn. The thing does not surprise me—he has the Church and the Army on his side ...” This would appear to date the letter 1848 (the election of Louis Napoleon). Somewhat tattered slightly affecting text
