    Description

    David Livingstone Partial Autograph Letter Signed "D. Livingstone." One page trimmed in size, 7.25" x 8.75", n.p., postmarked on the verso July 20, 1849, final page of a letter to "Miss Marten", Plaistow, Essex, England. The famed missionary and explorer no doubt penned this letter while living amongst the native people in Southern Africa. Though only the final page of the letter is present Livingstone's convictions are obvious when he writes, in part: "...We need your prayers more than any thing that the time spent may be poured upon their souls that their hearts may be inclined to great salvation...". With the usual fold creases, some modest wrinkling and a very small hole in the intersection of folds, else very good condition.

    This was my first time dealing with an auction house, and I am 100% completely impressed with Heritage. There is not an aspect of this process that I have a critique for.
