Description
ALS in Spanish, signed “Alfonso,”
three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, royal crest letterhead,
November 18, 1880.
King of Spain (1857-1885) who reigned from 1874 to 1885, after a coup d’etat restored the monarchy and ended the ephemeral First Spanish Republic; his mother, Isabella II, had been deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1868. Letter to “Manolo,” in part (translated): “I received your letter and saw with pleasure that you are always the same in your lobbies and in everything. What you suspect about the telegram that you put and that I did not receive, is completely lacking in logic.” In fine condition, with a light stain and small piece of tape to the left edge of the first page. Accompanied by an 1878 document bearing a printed signature.
