Cropped resulting in loss of text from both sides and with the front of the letter i.e. the side not bearing the signature bearing traces of glue from mount. Otherwise in fair condition lightly aged and worn. Ford begins by stating that Colville's 'letter of the 7th has been to Heavitree his country house near Exeter & back & only reached me this morning'.

In the third edition of his 'Handbook for Travellers in Spain' published later in the year Ford would write: 'Excellent manzanilla is to be procured in London of Gorman 16 Mark Lane. Drink it ye dyspeptics!' The recto of the letter ends here but there is clearly text lacking as a result of the cropping as the letter continues on the reverse: '… day. But you will come & meet Keir – who is now in the North when I will put before you some real Montilla a Cordovese wine: the finest sherry is called Amontillado from its approach to its flavour Yours most truly Richd Ford'. 123 Park Street, Grosvenor Square [ London ]. 10 January 1855. unknown
