MILL (JOHN STUART)

Autograph letter signed, to "My dear Eastwick", arranging to call on him at the India Office ("...It is a pity that you should be put to the trouble of coming here, merely for a short talk, especially as I shall be from home most days this week, and very much occupied when at home...") and arranging possible times ("...I could call at the India Office almost any Monday or Thursday after this week, at half past ten or eleven, only I have fancied that it was useless going there so early. I will either take my chances of finding you at the office, or meet you there any Monday or Thursday morning you like to appoint..."), 2 pages, conjugate leaf removed, 8vo, Blackheath Park, 10 July 1866
