Peel (1829-1912) was a Liberal politician and Speaker of the House of Commons. Primrose (1846-1923) was a Privy Councillor, Secretary to Gladstone and Speaker of the House of Commons. Both items are 3 pages, on 16mo bifoliates. Both are creased and discoloured. Between 1873 and 1874 Peel was Patronage Secretary to the Treasury. The exchange apparently concerns an election or by-election in Exeter. In the letter to Ford, Primrose says that Peel 'desires me to mention that it will depend upon the Lord Chancellor's movements whether the Writ leaves London on Monday or on Tuesday', as, if the Chancellor is in the country 'the messenger who takes it down to the Chancellor to be sealed cannot get back to London until the middle of the day on the Tuesday'. In the meantime Primrose will find out and let Ford know which day. The letter is signed 'H W Primrose'. The fragment, apparently the conclusion of a letter to Ford from Peel (signed 'Arthur W. Peel'), but in Primrose's hand, explains that the election cannot be delayed for more than six days. Any longer 'would be sure to excite remark, & lead to enquiries into the reason [.] The Writ will leave London on Monday evening.' In a postscript he says he is returning the stamps, 'as I have not had occasion to make use of them'.

The four-line Latin poem in this letter by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe (better known as Sir Stratford Canning and cousin of Prime Minister George Canning) is apparently unknown, and certainly unpublished. The letter is 3pp, 16mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. It begins: 'My dear Lord Monteagle, | The interesting anecdote you told me in the steamer last night of Lord Wellesley, followed me home, and buzzed about my pillow.' Jokingly referring to Wellesley as 'the "Duke of Hindostan"', he wonders what he would have said, 'if you had proposed, as an appropriate inscription for his tomb something like the dog-latin lines which I submit to you below?' The four-line poem (apparently referring to Wellesley and his younger brother the Duke of Wellington) is written across the two central pages of the bifolium. It begins: 'Frater ego illius, qui, per tot bella triumphans, | Europam implevit laude Asiamque suâ, | [.]'.

Richard Colley Wellesley (1760-1842), 1st Marquess Wellesley [as Earl of Mornington]; John Jeffreys Pratt (1759-1840), 1st Marquess Camden [as Viscount Bayham]; John Thomas Townshend (1764-1831), 2nd Viscount Sydney of St Leonards. See their entries in the Oxford DNB. On 5.5 x 15.5 cm strip extracted from a document, and laid down on 8 x 21.5 cm part of gilt-edged leaf from an album. In good condition, lightly aged on aged and creased mount. The signatures are written above one another: 'Mornington / Bayham / J. Th. Townshend'. The only other writing, at the foot of the strip is ' / July 1793'. "Camden served as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in the revolutionary years 1795 to 1798 and as Secretary of State for War and the Colonies between 1804 and 1805.".
