See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, on lightly discoloured paper, with thin neat strip from windowpane mount adhering to edges. Sixteen lines in a neat and stylish hand. Signed 'T. Crofton Croker'. The recipient is not named, but is clearly John Bowyer Nichols, editor of the Gentleman's Magazine, in whose number for April 1839 appeared an article, with engraving, by 'E. I. C.', on 'Winchester House, Broad-street, London.' Croker begins his letter: 'My dear Sir, / I return E. I. C's account of Winchester House. I think he is mistaken on so many points, and has omitted so much of interest that the best way of making the additions I had proposed wil be to give you a short comment on what you now print - for I require a reference or two, to be certain that I am quite right - for next month.'

Such a set is hencewith sent to Carlton Palace, addressed to you, and I am directed to request that you will be pleased to lay it before His Majesty.'

A related letter from Platt to Sumner is offered separately.…
