Description:
The volume holds 266 pages of letters primarily from Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield, and Thomas Pelham-Holles, Duke of Newcastle, writing from Whitehall in London. Also present are letters of instruction from George II appointing Hanbury-Williams Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of the King of Poland in 1747 (pages 13-24), his letter of revocation in 1749 for reassignment to the Court of the King of Prussia (pages 199-202), and his instructions from King George II for travel to Anspach to invest Charles William Frederick, the Margrave of Anspach, with the Ensigns of the Order of the Garter (pages 263-265). The letters in the volume were bound nearly in chronological order.
Other items in the volume are a copy of a letter written in 1715 to George Townshend from members of the Board of Trade (pages 1-8) and a copy of Lord Harrington's letter to all ministers abroad regarding court couriers, with a list of charges for their trips between Whitehall or Hanover and foreign cities (pages 9-12). Near the end of the volume (pages 243-262), is a "Paper delivered by Count Fleming," in which Saxon minister Karl Georg Friedrich Flemming mentions the June 1747 "double wedding" of Bavarian Elector Maximilian Joseph and his sister Princess Maria Antonia to the Electoral Prince Friedrich Christian of Saxony and his sister Princess Maria Anna; the marriage united the ruling families of Bavaria and Saxony.
