Item Details
Description
PELHAM HENRY: (1694-1754) British Prime Minister 1743-54. An extremely rare A.L.S., H: Pelham, one page, 4to, n.p., 24th August 1727, to a gentleman. Pelham acknowledges receipt of his correspondent's letter, adding that he has 'sent to Collonel Steward and the other persons mentioned not to punish any of those soldiers who voted for Mr. Hope, nor let them in any degree suffer for their so doing' and further remarking 'I am glad Mr. Hope has so good a voucher for his principles as you are, he was an entire stranger to me, but now I am convinced he is a good protestant'. Pelham also wishes his correspondent success in his county election, just as he did at Rochester, and states that they have tried to assist with votes 'and I make no doubt that you will find the benefit of it when you come to Poll'. Autograph letters by Pelham are extremely rare and his signature is usually encountered on Treasury documents (or fragments removed from them). Some light age toning to the edges, only very slightly affecting the text and signature, and with a few very minor tears at the edges and some traces of former mounting to the verso, G Pelham's letter was written whilst serving as Secretary at War from 1724-30 and his correspondent may have been David Polhill (1674-1754) who served as Member of Parliament for Rochester from 1727-41 (and again from 1743-54).
