1p., 12mo. On bifolium, with the reverse of the second leaf docketted by the recipient. Good, on lightly-aged paper, with one small nick in spine causing minor loss. Reads: 'London March 18 1835 | My Dear Charles | I don't like to send an answer about the communication of your Letter without having it before me. I sent it to the King, and have not yet received it back; but I will look at it as soon as I shall receive it; and will let you know what I think | Ever Your's | W'. Charles Arbuthnot is a likely candidate for recipient of this letter; his late wife Harriet (1793-1834) had been Wellington's closest female friend, and is the author of celebrated diaries.

The coat of arms, in red, black, yellow and blue, is carefully painted directly onto a 22 x 18 cm leaf removed from album. In fair condiion, on aged paper, with chipping and a small closed tear at foot affecting the motto ('VIRTUTIS FORTUNA COMES'). Above the motto is the quarterly coat of Wellesley and Colley, with a coronet above it, topped by the crest. Laid down in the top left-hand corner of the page is the 7.5 x 5.5cm photographic print of the engraving from a daguerreotype by Claudet, showing a seated Wellington, facing to his left, with his left hand curled round the arm rest of his chair. In fair condition, with slight wear to edges. This image is not present in the National Portrait Gallery collection, which does have a mezzotint version, published 1 May 1845, showing only Wellington's head and shoulders, said to be 'by Henry Thomas Ryall, published by James Watson, published by Goupil & Vibert, after Abraham Solomon, after Antoine Claudet'. Claudet's original photograph, taken in 1844, faced the other way, and again did not show hands and chair. In top right-hand corner of page, in contemporary hand: 'Master General of the Ordnance 1818. | Lord Warden of Cinque Ports. | Commander in Chief 1848. | First Lord of Treasury 1827 & 34 | Foreign Secretary in 1834.' Laid down on the reverse of the page is an engraving of the poet Thomas Haynes Bayley (1797-1839). See Image.

The circular on 1p., 4to, on recto of first leaf of bifolium. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. It reads: 'MY LORD, | The House-Committee and Stewards for conducting the Anniversary Dinner of the Governors of this Charity, present their compliments with the enclosed Card of Invitation for THURSDAY, the 22nd of APRIL, and request to be favored with your Lordship's [corrected in manuscript to 'Grace's'] Company on that day. THE PRESIDENT, His Royal Highness the DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, will take the Chair.' Wellington's ten line autograph draft reply is written up the left-hand margin of the page, in his distinctive and difficult hand. He writes that he is 'most flattered' by the invitation, but that the necessity of attendance in 'the Houses of Par[liamen]t of which He is a Member', will prevent him from complying.

He defeated Napoleon but can't get his brother an 'official Situation'. Two pages, 4to, black-bordered, fold marks, repair along one fold mark. See image. Text: "My dear Richard. I am really very sorry that it is totally out of my Power to hold out any prospect of improving your official position. I have been nearly three years in Officew and I have not had one Office in my Gift; nor do I think that I shall have one for many years; while there are hundreds of Applicants; neither have I in my Power of bri9nging you into Parliament. | I am not the Secretary of State fro Foreign affairs, and if I [?] I must add, that I should find myself under the necessity of [employing?] in the Diplomatic Service of the Country those who have passed their Life in it. | Believe me ever yours most affectionately | Wellington". Apparently unpublished. Note: a. According to Wikipedia "On the assumption of office by Wellington, his brother resigned the lord-lieutenancy. He is said to have been deeply hurt by his brother's failure to find a Cabinet position for him (Arthur made the usual excuse that one cannot give a Cabinet seat to everyone who wants one)"; b. This letter has been extracted from an Album which mainly contained letters to George Meredith or his daughter from distinguished contemporary authors (Thomas Hardy, George Eliot, Henry James etc.). But, as with this letter, the collector (I assume Marie, Meredith's daughter) collected widely.

4to; 4 pp.; Written on first page; pp. 2-4 blank; two small tears at edge of second and third fold, not afffecting text; watermark: J Green & Son 1834. Signed by Wellington. "I have had the honor to lay before the King the Loyal and Dutiful Address, which accompanied your Lordship's letter to me of the 7th Instant, from the Provost, Magistrates, and Councellors of the Burgh of Hamilton, upon the subject of the formation of the Ministry; - And I have the satisfaction to inform your Lordship, that His Majesty was pleased to receive the same in the most gracious manner. .". (cgc.bx). Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, was born in Ireland and educated in England. He joined the British Army in I 787 and quickly rose through the ranks to become Field Marshall, and Britain's most accomplished soldier. After the Battle of Waterloo, Wellington used his leadership skills in the affairs of the state. He held many top Tory cabinet positions, including Prime Minister. The 19th century was a significant period of reform in British political history. Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby (1799-1869),was a British Conservative Whig politician who was first elected as a Member of Parliament in 1820. He was an impressive orator, and he was also an important statesman and Prime Minister. A particularly contentious issue at the time was the severe restrictions imposed on Roman Catholics, who represented the majority of the Irish population. In parliament, the Whigs championed the cause of the Irish, and Stanley spoke for the restoration of their civil and religious rights. The Tories opposed this proposition, until it was feared that Daniel O'Connell would lead Ireland in a civil war. The Catholic Relief Act was passed in I829, but action to bring about reform was slow, fueling further opposition and debate. Stanley was Chief Secretary for Ireland in Lord Grey's reform ministry, and he had a better understanding of the Irish situation than most members of parliament. Catholic emancipation was not accepted by the Tories, but it was clear that the collection of tithes from the impoverished and overwhelmingly Catholic population to support the bench of bishops in Church of Ireland was unfair. Following a heated debate on Irish church revenues, Stanley resigned the ministry on May 27th, 1834. William IV's increasing dissatisfaction with the Whig reformers caused him to dismiss the Melbourne ministry on November 14th, I834. He asked Sir Robert Peel to form a Tory government. Since Peel was travelling in Europe at the time, the Duke of Wellington, by then a close counselor of the King, formed the caretaker government, which he directed until Peel returned to England on December 10th, 1834. At Wellington's suggestion, Peel wrote to Stanley on December 9th, 1834, asking him if he would consider joining the new cabinet. Stanley refused; in his reply to Peel on December I Ith, I834, he stated that even as a former member of Grey's administration, he could share some opinions with Peel, but he would find it difficult to serve in a Tory cabinet, particularly one that included the Duke of Wellington as Foreign Secretary. Peel replied that he would hope to benefit from Stanley's impartial opinions out of office. A year later, Peel formed a new Conservative Party and Stanley was appointed Colonial Secretary. (Ref Alexander, James Edward. Memoirs of the Right Honorable Sir Robert Peel, Bart. London, Newby, 1842). Considering these events at the time this letter was written, it is interesting, more for what it doesn't say than for what it does. Addresses and petitions were regularly sent to the King from towns and boroughs in the kingdom, and this is Wellington's standard response of thanks to the administrators of the Burgh of Hamilton. The address was sent to the King on December 7th, 1834, two days before Stanley received Peel's offer to join his ministry. Wellington is replying on December 15th, 1834, but nowhere does he allude to the. events of the previous few days, which he would have seen. Stanley's refusal, Peel's investiture as Prime Minister, and the end of Wellington's caretaker position.

Addressed to an unidentified recipient, this signed letter concerns the appointment of an officer with hearing loss, which the Duke relates to his own experience of deafness. Like many exposed to the sound of artillery fire, the Duke of Wellington suffered from noise-related hearing loss. Subsequently he underwent a botched treatment which resulted in permanent deafness in one ear. This ALS is dated London, 16 April 1837. This was the year that Queen Victoria ascended the throne, and was written when the Duke was in his late 60s. Expected fold marks. Whole written in brown ink. 2pp. with integral blank leaf. 185 x 118 mm (7¼ by 4¾ inches).
