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'.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. POPHAM, Sir Home Riggs (1762-1820). Autograph letter signed, ordering a medical survey of sick men aboard HMS Hussar. Calcutta, 12 November 1813. Single sheet, written on one side in ink and signed Sir Home Popham at the foot. Addressed beneath to Mr Graham, Surgeon HMS Stirling Castle. Old manuscript number "62" in pencil to the upper right corner. Light age toning and a few minor handling marks with old folds. Small piece of tape to the verso, otherwise very good.  Written from Calcutta on 12 November 1813 while Popham was commanding HMS Stirling Castle. He instructs the ship's surgeon, James Graham, to examine sick sailors aboard HMS Hussar at the request of her captain, George Elliot: "Capt Elliot wishes me to order a Survey on some Men belonging to the Hussar, pray therefore call onboard the Hussar, examine them, leave a Note of your opinion." Medical surveys of this kind could determine whether sailors were fit to remain in service or should be invalided.  Sir Home Riggs Popham was one of the more colourful Royal Navy officers of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, remembered particularly for his work on naval signalling and for his involvement in the 1806 Buenos Aires expedition. In 1813 he was appointed to command HMS Stirling Castle and carried Francis Rawdon-Hastings, Earl of Moira, to India to take up office as Governor-General. The recipient, James Graham, was surgeon of HMS Stirling Castle and had previously served under Popham aboard HMS Venerable. Captain George Elliot (1784-1863), commander of HMS Hussar, was an experienced naval officer who had served at Cape St Vincent and the Nile and later became an admiral and senior Admiralty official. A pleasing association between three identifiable Royal Navy officers, written in Calcutta. Signed by Author(s).…

British statesman (1792-1861), Home Secretary under Sir Robert Peel. Three pages, octavo. Good, though on lightly-creased, discoloured paper. An interesting sidelight into the relations between two important nineteenth-century politicians. Says he can never forget Derby's 'constant kindness': 'nothing has occurred to alter or to diminish the Sincere Respect with which I regard both your Public & private Character.' 'Circumstances which it was impossible to control have divided us in Politics: but I care little for these divisions, when the grounds of difference are honorable; and your whole life is the pledge of the purity and sincerity of your Motives.' Regrets that he does not 'Contemplate the appointment of any new Commissioners'. 'Commissioners can, for the present at least inspect the Mines & Collieries without any additional assistance'. He will however make a note of 'Major Spillers name and of your nomination of his merits'. Ends with reference to his eldest son ('at Vienna, but I hope to meet him on the moors on the 12th of August'), and of Derby's 'marked kindness towards him'. …
