GEORGE II: (1683-1760) King of Great Britain and Ireland 1727-60. A.N.S. with his initials GR, comprising eight lines of holograph text at the foot (recto & verso) of an A.L.S., Townshend, by Charles Townshend (1674-1738, 2nd Viscount Townshend, English Statesman, Secretary of State for the Northern Department 1714-16, 1721-30 during which time he directed British Foreign policy), one page, 4to, n.p., n.d. (c.1730), to King George II. Townshend states that he had received the King's sentiments and explains 'Monsr. Hattorf & I have reviewed both this morning & last night the said Paper of Remarks, & are both of opinion that Your Majesty's observations on them are very just, & that they were deficient in the several points Your Majesty mentions, & I take the liberty to transmitt to Your Majesty a Paper of additions (no longer present) to be made to the said Remarks, which we hope will answer Your Majesty's views in every particular'. The King responds to Townshend stating, in full, 'I think with the alteration I have made this Article may pass, but in relation to the possession of Juliers, if I should give any promise to the K[ing] of P[russia] I shall lose entirely the hopes of getting the El[ectorate] of the Palatine family, wh. will be of much more consequence to me than the other. So it is impossible to flatter him of my being either neutral, or favouring his pretensions'. With blank integral leaf.
