Thomas Adolphus Trollope
1882 (2 June) folio A.L.S. written in Rome to an unidentified recipient: "I am very much obliged to you for giving me an opportunity of seeing the pamphlets you sent me. The things stated are truly horrible. I do not think Miss Colbe’s pamphlets are calculated to help the cause with any body who is aware that a great controversy has arisen, they are so evidently unfair, onesided, and prejudiced …". and signed "T. Adolphus Trollope". Photo
