Autograph Letter Signed ("R.F. Burton"), 4 pp, 12mo, Trieste, May 28, [1880s], to "My dear Green," on his letterhead with "Hadji Abdullah" in Arabic, taped at extremities to mount, framed passepartout with portraits. Burton congratulates his correspondent on a promotion and recommends that he find a position "in some decent country." He encloses "a pamphlet showing the results of my last Expedition" - perhaps one of his visits to the Middle East or West Africa hunting gold - before reporting his wife's illnesses, and asking if someone is related to Roberts of Jelalabad.
