Letter written and signed by author Edward Bulwer Lytton, slabbed and authenticated by PSA DNA.
Bulwer Lytton (1803-1873) is relatively unknown to the general public today, but as a writer he was very influential, being the first to use many phrases still used today such as:
"The pen is mightier than the sword", "It was a dark and stormy night", and "Pursuit of the mighty dollar".
In addition to writing books, plays, and poems, he was a member of the English Parliament.
