For Millingen, his brother the archaeologist James Millingen (1774-1845), James's son Julius Michael Millingen (1800-1878), the antiquary and diplomat William Richard Hamilton (1777-1859), and the recipient the editor of the Literary Gazette William Jerdan (1782-1869), see the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount attached to the reverse of the second leaf, which is endorsed by Jerdan ('1847 | Dr Millingen | death of his brother in No 1501 '), and has attached to it a printed slip with a biographical note. The letter begins: 'My dear Jerdan | I am much concerned in having to communicate to you the sad tidings of my brother's death he was I believe well known to you & his old friend Mr W. R. Hamilton has written a long notice of him, which he gave me to make whatever addition I might think proper'. Hamilton 'had an idea' of sending the notice to The Times, but when Millingen 'expressed a wish that the public shall be informed of his death through the medium of [Jerdan's] paper [The Literary Gazette] he fully concurred' with Millingen, who has 'therefore enclosed it for [Jerdan's] insertion', being happy to supply further information. The letter concludes: 'In regard to my addition to the notice you may do with it what you may think proper I mean in what concerns my nephew and myself.' As indicated by Jerdan, Hamilton's notice appeared (anonymously) in issue 1501 of the Literary Gazette, 25 October 1845, pp.706-707. It is not cited as a source in the entry on James Millingen in the Oxford DNB. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

Zustand: Very good. - William J. Le Moyne's autograph penned on a 3-1/4 inch high by 4-3/8 inch wide card stock. Signed "Yours Truly / Wm. J. Le Moyne". Once mounted in an album with glue stains and paper remnants to the verso of the corners. Very good. The American actor William J. Le Moyne (1831-1905) performed in amateur productions in and near Boston from the age of 15. His professional stage debut took place in Portland, Maine in 1852 when he played the role of an officer in "The Lady of Lyons". Joining the repertory company at Peale's Museum in Troy, New York, he played the role of Deacon Perry when that company performed the first stage adaptation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that same year. His career picked up after he toured with the company the following year. Le Moyne enlisted as a first lieutenant with Company B of the 28th Massachusetts Volunteers at the start of the Civil War. He served under the command of his fellow actor Lawrence Barrett and assumed command after Barrett stepped down. Not only did he witness the death or wounding of half his men in a string of Union defeats in South Carolina and Virginia but he was himself severely wounded. Unable to resume military service, Le Moyne was granted a retroactive promotion to the rank of Captain upon his retirement. He went back to the stage in 1863 playing major roles in stage adaptations of Dickens' works and also playing most of the roles in "Hamlet" during the course of his career. He had the pleasure of performing with companies headed by Edwin Booth, Edwin Forrest, Charles Fletcher and in producer Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre Company.
