A warrant for his livery passed on 26 May 1634. On half-wages, he was admitted to full pay on the death of William Smith on 10 March 1637. He was dead by 18 November 1638, when a warrant passed to swear Thomas Cresswell, trumpeter, in his place. John Smith, who may have been the son of a namesake who served as trumpeter, was appointed a trumpeter extraordinary on 17 March 1629, and as a trumpeter in ordinary on 27 March 1634; an order for his livery issued on 30 May 1634. On 7 June 1638 he and his man were given sea liveries, having been appointed to go to sea on the king’s great ship Sovereign. He remained in service in 1642.’

* Greece and the Anglo-French Entente. An important autograph letter signed from Lord Aberdeen (George Hamilton-Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen), Foreign Office, 14 December 1843, marked 'Private' and addressed to Francois Guizot (French minister of foreign affairs, and later prime minister of France), '... I write to you at once, in order that no delay may take place in regulating the movements of Prince Wallerstein. I regard the question of his going to Athens at this time, very much as you do; but with rather a stronger inclination in favour of his undertaking the journey. The objections are obvious, and there can be no doubt that his appearance, or that of any Bavarian, in the country, will be very unwelcome, and may give rise to suspicion ... at all events, the knowledge we possess of the character of King Otto, and of his uncertain, wavering, and unsteady conduct, render it highly desirable that some person of weight and authority should be at his side, in order to give him advice, and to confirm him in his good resolutions... ', continuing with further thoughts about the benefits and drawbacks of Prince Wallerstein's visit to Athens before concluding that he will leave it to Guizot's 'better reflection and judgement', before concluding 'I would request you to recollect that if France and England, and friends of Constitutional Government in Greece, fail to make such a constitution as King Otto will accept, we give a signal triumph to Russia, and to those powers who view all our proceedings of this kind with an evil eye. We know not what advice the King may receive at the last moment, which may require to be counteracted by all the authority of his father's representative', 4 pp., light browning and a few minor marginal splits, 4toQty: (1)NOTESThis letter represents the beginning of the Entente Cordiale in practice, as Aberdeen and Guizot established a combined policy concerning the framing and adoption of the new Greek constitution of 1843-44, and need to avoid giving Russia an advantage in the region, the precariousness of the position of King Otto following the Greek revolution of 1843, and the sending of Prince Wallerstein as an emissary to aid Otto in constitutional matters.
* Mao Zedong (1893-1976). Chairman of the Communist Party of China 1943-76 and Chairman of the People's Republic of China 1954-59. An exceedingly rare vintage blue ink signature, [1960], in Chinese characters, inscribed to the verso of a printed invitation to a Buffet Party hosted by the China-Latin America Friendship Association at the Xinqiao Hotel, [Peking], on Thursday, 27 October 1960 at 6.30pm, 'in order to kindly see off the cultural friendship delegations of Latin American countries', the Chinese text printed in red on off-white paper, some very light overall soiling to both sides, barely affecting the signature, oblong 8vo (17 x 11cm)Qty: (1)NOTESFollowing the end of World War II, the Communist movement was flourishing in Latin America and in 1947 Mao Zedong was prompted to remark that 'the Latin American peoples are not the obedient slaves of United States Imperialism'. Chairman Mao and the Chinese communists' goal was the defeat of United States Imperialism and Latin America was regarded as vital to attaining this goal as, because of its geographical location, it supported Mao Zedong's theory of the establishment of rural revolutionary base areas. Chinese interest and activities in Latin America increased sharply in the early 1950s (there were believed to be 250,000 card carrying communists active in the area) and the countries were of considerable interest to the Chinese and viewed as a fertile ground for advancing Communism, not least Red China's own brand of the ideology. The China-Latin America Friendship Association was established in Peking (Beijing) in March 1960 and became the general fortress of cultural infiltration into Latin America. The American diplomat Roy R. Rubottom Jr., who served as Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (1957-60), noted that, in 1960, Mao Zedong appeared to have 'gone out of his way' to receive Latin American Communist leaders and to exhort them to give their full backing to the kind of revolution he favoured. The present signature, also dating from 1960, was undoubtedly obtained during the Buffet Party which Mao Zedong attended in honour of Latin American communists. A nice example of one of the rarest and most sought after autographs of all major political leaders and cultural icons of the twentieth century. A PSA/DNA letter of authenticity certificate is included with this lot.

A long autograph letter signed, 'Margaret', Government House, Pretoria, 4 April 1947, to 'Julian', sending a box of chocolates, 'I hope they are good and not filled with all the things you particularly dislike', describing their current accommodation in Pretoria, 'From the first floor you can look down into the drawing-room, so it is very dangerous to say anything rude or loud as everyone can hear one', detailing travels around the countryside, 'We drove for 80 miles one day very slowly through natives and mine workers for 7 hours, rivalling our drive to Drumlanrig for its exhausting qualities! Johannesburg is where the gay and rich and busy people live. A ball was given in honour of Lilibet [her sister Elizabeth] and me, and all the young men we danced with had come home either from Oxford or Cambridge, and they all said that after London they could hardly bear to live in Jo'burg, which from the South Africans' point of view is the smartest and fastest place in the Union', saying that she is determined to return and see more of the places she liked, commenting on the 'deliscious [sic]' but regretting that there is no twilight, saying that they are going to Rhodesia next week and she is looking forward to seeing the Victoria Falls, written in blue ink on Government House letterhead, slight creasing where previously folded, light marks to lower half of final page, not affecting signature, 4 pages, 8voQty: (1)NOTESThis letter was written towards the end of the three-month tour of Southern African undertaken by the 16-year-old Margaret, her sister Elizabeth and their parents. The princesses' chaperone during this tour was Peter Townsend, the king's equerry.

Som[m]ersete’), Richard Foxe (1447/88-1528, Bishop of Winchester 1501-28, Lord Privy Seal 1487-1516, the founder of Corpus Christi College, Oxford; signed ‘Ri Wynton’) and Sir Thomas Lovell (c. 1449-1524, English soldier and administrator, Speaker of the House of Commons and Treasurer of the royal household; signed ‘Thomas Lovell’), filing hole touching one letter in second line, incorrectly dated at the head of the document in a hand of c.1800, some light browning and overall age wear, one short split to left upper margin not touching text,1 page, 4to (210 x 180mm), endorsed: ex[aminat]ur p[er] Dalison (examined by Dalison) [George Dalison, Auditor of the Exchequer]Qty: (1)NOTESProvenance: collection of Sir Joseph Dimsdale – ‘D’ (blind-stamp monogram collector’s mark with crest above to lower margin; not located in Lugt); subsequently part of the Ray Rawlins Collection of Historical Documents and Letters. The present document is illustrated in full in The Guinness Book of World Autographs by Rawlins (1977, p. 241). The document was included in the auction of the Rawlins Collection by Sotheby’s, June 1980 (Lot 67, £1,300, Thomas) and the small circular stamp of the Rawlins collection has been neatly removed from the lower left corner leaving a light, minor stain. Docketed in Rawlins’ hand in pencil to the verso as formerly part of the collection of Sir Joseph Dimsdale; XII 265; Alan G. Thomas (1911-1992) bookseller; Sotheby’s, London, 13 December 1993 (Lot 306, £2,000); International Autograph Auctions Ltd., 3 April 2011 (Lot 609, £5,600). In pencil, at top, c1850: Pl 2 No 1 implying illustration as Plate 2, number 1. The same hand has annotated the signatures of the privy councillors 1-5, and the same hand has written lines at right-angles below them, suggesting that the lower half of the document was not illustrated. Above the box formed by these lines is a short inscription of which only the words Thereabouts to be … can be made out. The left and bottom margins have been trimmed – note the straight cuts, the tightness of the trace of the circular stamp to the margin and the loss of a word in the left margin. Sir John Dauntsey (Daunce) (c.1484-1545) of Thame, Oxfordshire and London, rose from humble origins to the highest offices in King Henry VIII’s financial administration by way of the London company of Goldsmiths. ‘Richard Fermor (1480/84-1551) of Isham and Easton Neston, Northamptonshire and London, merchant of the Staple of Calais, merchant. Fermor was given a share in the contract for victualling the royal army during the Tournai campaign of 1513, and he exported large quantities of wheat, flour, beer barrels, cannonballs, harness, and saltpetre. As a reward he was given licences to export wool direct to Italy. … In 1524 Fermor was in Florence and gave financial assistance there to John Clerk, Wolsey's agent, who was negotiating for the cardinal's election to the papacy. At the time of his fall (1529), Wolsey owed Fermor £125 for various silks.’ For both Dauntsey and Fermor see History of Parliament Online for fuller details. George Dalison of Clothall in Hertfordshire, Cransley in Northamptonshire and Gray’s Inn, c.1480-1524. Gave 40 marks (£26 13s 4d) for the Auditorship of the Exchequer in 1507, and served in that office to 1521. Wolsey’s ability to keep a large number of troops supplied and equipped for the duration of the Anglo-French War (1512-14) was a major factor in its success. Wolsey also had a key role in negotiating the Anglo-French treaty of 1514, which secured a temporary peace between the two nations. Under this treaty the French king, Louis XII, would marry Henry VIII’s young sister, Mary. In addition, England was able to keep the captured city of Tournai and to secure an increase in the annual pension paid by France. The present document dates from the beginning of the power struggle between Wolsey and his co-signatory the Duke of Norfolk, who had fought for King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth (1485), and made an important contribution, as Earl Marshal, to the coronation of King Henry VIII. Norfolk challenged Wolsey in an attempt to become the new king’s first minister, although eventually accepted the cardinal’s supremacy. Two months before signing the present document Norfolk had been instrumental in crushing James IV’s forces at Flodden, 9 September 1513. His signature, T Norfolk, is anomalous since his father’s dukedom was not restored to him until 1 February 1514. It was also at the time of signing this document that Wolsey was given a significant opportunity to demonstrate his talents in the foreign policy arena. The war against France had begun in 1512 and, although the first campaign was not a success, Wolsey learned from his mistakes and in 1513, with Papal support, a joint attack on France was launched. Thomas Lovell, one of the privy councillors who signed the warrant, supervised the procurement of artillery and the fortification of Calais between 1511 and 1514 (ODNB). A handsome document of exceptional rarity.
