England's monarch inscribes the uppermost portion of a royal summons: ''Victoria R'' as Queen. The document commands the presence of Lord Bishop James Henry to the Royal Coronation on 28 June 1838. Summons dated 9 May 1838 reads in part: ''...These are to Will and Command you (all excuses set apart) to make your personal attendance…you are not to fail...'' Measures 8'' x 12''. One closed tear runs from the bottom edge to the middle of the document. Some discoloration and a smudge to the signature. Overall very good condition.
