Description
[ENGLISH & CONTINENTAL MANUSCRIPTS]. JAMES II and VII (1633-1701), King of England, Scotland and Ireland. Autograph letter signed (“James”) as an uncle to Charlotte Lee. N.p., 9 February [ca after 1674].

1 page, folio (223 x 174 mm), on a laid paper bifolium, addressed verso with red wax seals, some creasing with most from folds with a few areas separating, slight toning and spotting, 2 outer margins reinforced on addressee side.

Charlotte Lee (1664-1718) Countess of Lichfield was the illegitimate daughter of King Charles II and was purportedly James II's favorite niece. James II vows to assist Charlotte in this letter by writing to "Mr. Hyde," presumably his father-in-law Henry Hyde, 2nd Earl of Clarendon, about Charlotte's "affaire."
