Condition: Good. - 18 words penned in black ink on both sides of a 4-1/2 inch high by 3-5/8 inch wide sheet of United Service Club letterhead with the club's raised insignia printed in blind at top left.

A strip of document tape has been mounted down the right edge of the verso, covering up 1 word of the note. Good. Williams writes regretting he is unable to dine with Mrs. Ford because of a previous engagement. The note is accompanied by a newspaper obituary.General Sir William Fenwick Williams, 1st Baronet of Kars [1800-1883] was born in Nova Scotia. He was a renowned military leader for the British during the Victorian era, remembered for his gallant defense of the town of Kars during the Crimean War. He and other British officers inspired the poorly equipped Turkish soldiers to repel Russian attacks for three months. Starvation and lack of ammunition finally forced them to surrender, but they did so on their own terms. Williams was imprisoned but was treated very well and was released when the war ended in 1856. A knighthood, a baronetcy with a pension for life and many other honors were bestowed on Williams for his actions. From 1865 to 1867 he was the first Lieutenant Governor of his birth province of Nova Scotia.

Sykes (1867-1945) was an English soldier, diplomat and scholar who travelled and fought in and around Persia for over two decades. Posted with the British army to India, Sykes was in 1892 sent by land through Persia when returning to India from home leave in England. During this trip, Sykes met Prince Abdul Hussain Mirza Farman Farma, the young Prince of Kerman. The close friendship established between Sykes and the prince set the foundation for British-Persian relations over the next two decades. After several journeys through Persia and Baluchistan (present day Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan), Sykes in 1902 detailed these travels in Ten Thousand Miles in Persia, and was awarded the Royal geographical Society's Gold Medal. Sykes's account was popular, and a second impression was published the same year as the first. Still, the first edition, as presented here, remains scarce, with no copies currently on the market. The Hopkirk copy (lot 1147 in Sotheby's sale 8543 of 1998) made £740, while the Burrell copy (lot 794 in Sotheby's sale 9217 of 1999 made £690.

Sykes (1867-1945) was an English soldier, diplomat and scholar who travelled and fought in and around Persia for over two decades. Posted with the British army to India, he made several journeys through Persia and Baluchistan (present day Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan). In 1902 he detailed these travels in Ten Thousand Miles in Persia, and was awarded the Royal geographical Society's Gold Medal. Over the next few years he made extensive journeys in the Middle East and was appointed consul-general for Khuzustan. Toward the end of World War I, he was sent to raise a Persian force to counter the strong German influence in most of South Persia. His forces supported the Russians against the Turks. Sykes's magnificent History of Persia includes a good deal on modern Arabia, Iraq and Afghanistan. It provides a history of Persia from the earliest times to1906, and probably constitutes one of the best histories of the country available in any language other than Persian. The second edition, offered here, is almost as scarce as the first.

Condition: Very good. - Daniel Adams Butterfield's signature as treasurer penned on a 2 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide piece of paper clipped from the bottom of a typed letter. The close, signed by Butterfield as treasurer, apparently called for the recipient of the letter to return a document or letter "to the Treasurer in envelope enclosed herewith". The close is additionally initialed in an unknown hand at left. Folded twice, else very good. The New York businessman Daniel Adams Butterfield (1831-1901) served as brigadier general in the Union army during the Civil War. While recuperating from wounds sustained at Gaines' Mill, Butterfield revised the Scott Tattoo, thus composing the bugle call "Taps" which is played at the end of military funerals and to signal "lights out". As Hooker's chief of staff, he was later embroiled in his commander's political feuds with Burnside and Meade. Butterfield was wounded at Gettysburg and subsequently served in Sherman's Atlanta campaign. He went on to serve as Assistant Treasurer of the U.S. under Grant but was forced to resign when he abused his position to manipulate the price of gold.
