12mo, 2 pp. Headed private. Good, on lightly aged and stained paper. Headed 'Private'. He thanks him for sending a 'Copy of a letter from he Prince to the late Duke of Wellington'. He will make 'limited and careful use' of the copy he has preserved with the recipient's permission. He considers that the letter 'redounds so much to the honour of the Prince and is so striking a proof of his self-denial, love of duty, and sound judgment, that it cannot be read without admiration and is a record of his wisdom and right feeling.' He praises the recipient as 'a Confidential Adviser and permanent Minister' to the Queen, who he hopes 'may be enabled to triumph over every difficulty'.

3pp., 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. A tantalising letter, imviting further investigation. Clerk informs Frampton that 'in pursuance of directions which I have received from [Home Secretary] Sir R. Peel I have ordered James Ellis one of the Bow Street Officers to proceed to Dorchester tomorrow morning & to report himself to you immediately on his arrival to receive from you directions how he is to proceed to Lulworth &what course he should pursue while he resides there to avoid attracting any unnecessary notice. If after he has been there some time it should appear to the Comte de [Ponthieu?] or yourself that his presence is no longer required you will order Ellis to return to London, as it is desirable he should not be longer absent from his Duties here than is absolutely necessary.' In a postscript on the third page, signed 'G. C.', Clerk writes: 'I take the liberty of suggesting for your consideration whether it should not be expedient that Ellis should be sworn in by you as a Constable for the County of Dorset.' Note: The Bow Street Runners were gradually phased out (by 1839), upon the establishment of the Metropolitan Paolice in 1829.

At bottom left of first page: 'Warrant for the removal of John Raddon to the Criminal Lunatic Asylum in St Georges Fields'. The text begins: 'Whereas John Raddon was at the Summer Assizes 1822, holden for the County of Devon tried upon a certain Indictment against him for maliciously Cutting and Maiming, and he was acquitted by a Jury duly taken in that behalf, who being thereunto required and specially found that he was Insane at the time of the Commission of such Offence, and did declare that he was acquitted by them on account of such Insanity, [ ]'. Raddon was ordered 'to be kept in strict Custody in the Gaol at Exeter', but is now to be sent to the 'Building [ ] in St Georges Field[s] in the County of Surrey, situate on the site of Bethlem Hospital for the better Care and Custody of Insane Persons charged with or convicted of Criminal Offences'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.
