Stanfield, Clarkson, 8 May [before 1867]
Scope and Contents
Autograph letter signed from Clarkson Stanfield to Sir Charles Lyell, dated 8 May [no year]: "Absence from Town has prevented my earlier receiving and answering your note of the 6th. I now hasten to say that I shall be most happy to see you here any morning next week that may suit your own convenience. Tomorrow morning if you please after ten o’clock will be as convenient a time and hour as I can appoint. [...]". The identification of the recipient with Sir Charles Lyell is based on a collector’s or recipient’s note (recto), which is consistent with the provenance of the letter from the autograph collection of Baron Leonard Lyell. No other connection between Clarkson Stanfield and Charles Lyell could be established.
