BOOTH WILLIAM: (1829-1912) British Methodist Preacher, founder and General of The Salvation Army. A good autograph statement signed `William Booth´, one page, 8vo, green paper, n.p., 22nd September 1902, on the Salvation army printed stationery, bearing the "Blood and Fire" red crest of the Salvation Army to the heading. In bold purple fountain pen ink Booth states `Yours for the service of God and my generation up to the highest level of my capacity and opportunity. William Booth - General of the Salvation Army´. Laid down to a very slightly larger page. Small overall minor creasing, otherwise G
Booth´s organisation was at first ridiculed, but his success in establishing homes and training centres, particularly for unmarried mothers and ex-prisoners, made him a national figure. In 1902 Edward VII insisted that he receive an invitation to his coronation.
