Letter from Benjamin Disraeli, London, to Sharon Turner, 1828 March 10 : autograph manuscript signed.

Expressing his admiration for Turner, his varied accomplishments, and for his fortitude in the face of illness; discussing his own recent infirmity and his sense of restless amibition ("Whether I shall ever do anything which may mark me out from the crowd I know not. I am one of those to whom moderate reputation can give no pleasure, and who, in all probability, am incapable of achieving a great one"), and concluding that he is no longer "dazzled with the glittering bubbles which float on the ocean of existence", being now resigned to "receive with composure" whatever is granted or withheld from him in life.
