[ Sir Edwin Chadwick, social reformer. ] Autograph Letter Signed ('Edwin Chadwick') to the Quaker abolitionist George Stacey, blaming 'cholera cases, & some other matters of possible emergency' for not being able to attend at 'the Institution'.

2pp., 12mo. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper with spike hole through one word (the 'yours' of 'Very truly yours'). He apologises for being foreced to forego the opportunity of 'attending at the Institution, which I have often wished to revisit', as a result of the requirement for 'an extraordinary amount of attendance from me night as well as day, consequent upon the encrease [sic] of cholera cases, & some other matters, of possible emergency'.
