Autograph – Sir Andrew Mitchell manuscript document signed dated Whitehall May 19th 1769 being an account of the Extraordinary Disbursements submitted by Sir Andrew Mitchell, ‘Knight of the most honourable Order of the Bath, His Majesty’s Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleniptentiary to the King of Prussia’, countersigned by the Earl of Rochford, allowing payment of 150 pounds. Rochford’s signature is significant as it was his casting vote at the cabinet meeting in May 1769 which rejected the Duke of Grafton’s proposal to repeal the American tea duties – which of course led to the infamous ‘Boston Tea Party’ and thereon to the War of Independence. As such Rochford can be considered to be one of the architects of the war and eventual loss of America. Mitchell (1708- 71), Scottish diplomatist was envoy to Frederick the Great.
