Important Letter from the future Duke of WellingtonManuscript: Letter dated at Dublin Castle, 28 May 1807, from Sir Arthur Wellesley to an unidentified correspondent addressed as "my deal Lord." 7pp, 24cms x 18.5cms, faded and damp damaged.In March 1807 a new government was formed under the Duke of Portland and Wellesley was appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland, ie., the cabinet minister with responsibility for Irish Affairs. A month later, a general election was called, which was in full swing at the time this letter was written (voting ended on 9 June). Wellesley comments on the progress of the election in several counties. At this time, political parties were expected to reward their supports with lucrative posts in the administration, and Wellesley makes several recommendations, while commenting acidly on the delay in getting the Treasury to send money. The patronage system was universal, but even Wellesley was shocked to report that "Lord Sligo" has pressed upon us the most indecent simoniacal arrangement in respect of the Deanery of Limerick that I ever heard of." An important letter. As a m/ss, w.a.f.A telling insight into the way Ireland was governed two centuries ago. (1)
