Letter from young Francis Hyde Villiers to his father, the 4th Earl of Clarendon [click to enlarge]
Sir Francis Hyde Villiers (1852-1925) went on to be Minister to Portugal, Ambassador to Belgium, and possessor of a formidable moustache, but here he’s just a very young boy who misses and loves his dad.
The letter is preserved in the archive of the Earls of Clarendon (2nd creation), currently being catalogued.
