General Garnet Joseph Wolseley’s letter of 1885 consists of four pages written on one folded sheet, dated June 30, 1885, and sent from Cairo to the publisher MacMillan. Wolseley is primarily concerned with criticizing Prime Minister William Gladstone for his vacillation in sending rescue forces in time to reach General Charles Gordon and Egyptian troops defending Khartoum from attack by Sudanese rebels (1884-1885); he also mentions his plan to produce a fifth edition of his Soldiers’ Pocket Book.
