Autograph Letter Signed from the journalist and music critic Charles Lewis Gruneisen to Sir George Clark

12mo, 4 pp. Bifolium. 48 lines. Text clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Attached, in a windowpane, to a leaf detached from an autograph album. He 'fell in, at Newport, in South Wales, with a youth of extraordinary ability as a player on the Harp - not the Welsh, but the Gothic instrument'. Although the youth, named 'Pollock', is 'Harpist to Lady Morgan', his income 'is scanty and fluctuating'. Exclaims 'What is to be done, Sir George! for the youth!' and discusses options including 'musical training' at the Royal Academy of Music ('Wales is lamentably destitute of good professors').
