Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Sir William Howard Russell, Vol. 2: The First Special Correspondent While Russell was on the high seas, bound for America to watch the events which culminated in the American Civil War, Sir De Lacy Evans wrote to Mrs. Russell about her husband´s mission: - "His being selected to proceed to America under the present momentous circumstances is but an additional proof of the great value attached to his high qualifications and rare ability. He does me the honour - and I assure you I consider it to be so - to ask me to assent to one of my names being given to your little son, who is not christened. I shall feel gratified by your making use of my name in any way you please in this matter. I consider that Mr. Russell is a public man of peculiar claims to historical estimation." Sir De Lacy Evans never relaxed in his affectionate regard for Russell and his family. It may be said here that the boy referred to died in infancy, and afterwards Evans - to give only one further example of his attentions and geniality - wrote: - "6, Great Cumberland Street," Hyde Park.
