WELLINGTON DUKE OF: (1769-1852) Anglo-Irish Field Marshal & British Prime Minister 1828-30, 1834. Signed envelope wrapper, addressed in Wellington's hand to The Lady Shelley at Maresfield Park in Sussex and dated London, 12th April 1820 in his hand. Signed ('Free, Wellington') in the lower left corner. With a good black wax seal affixed to the verso. Some very light age wear and minor tears, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise VG Lady Frances Shelley (1787-1873) Friend of the Duke of Wellington. Indeed, Shelley somewhat idolised the Iron Duke and had frequently implored him to visit Maresfield Park. Eventually, on 10th October 1819, Wellington wrote to Shelley informing her that he would visit the following day. Of Wellington's visit Shelley wrote in her diary “ My nervous headache vanished and I was alive only to the happiness and honour of receiving, under my own roof, the great hero and saviour of my countryâ€. The visit was not, however, without incident; The following day saw one or two minor mishaps involving the Duke’s lack of prowess with a hunting rifle. The morning session ended with him having shot a retriever and peppered the gaiters of a keeper. Furthermore, that afternoon Lady Shelley went out to join the party and suddenly heard screams of pain from the cottage of an old lady. It seems she was working with some washing in front of the windows when her arms got in the way of another of the Duke’s wayward shots. Lady Shelley quickly took charge, and recalled the incident in her diary, immediately sizing up the situation and telling the old lady “My good woman this ought to be the proudest day of your life you have had the distinction of being shot by the great Duke of Wellingtonâ€.
