Autograph poem now believed in the hand of John Fairbairn. Comparison of individual words to those in documents known to have been penned by John Fairbairn indicate him to be the likely author.
A satirical poem, perhaps intended for publication in the Commercial Advertiser. However, searches to date have not located this in issues up to 1826 (end of Somerset's term as Governor of the Cape Colony).
Four sides, four sides written. 320mm high x 200mm wide. unsigned. undated.
Tanned and with some minor stains this is a sound copy. no tears or loss.
A transcription of the writing is available on request. Fables Ref. #22783
