MILLER RALPH WILLETT: (1762-1799) British Royal Navy Officer, one of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson's Band of Brothers at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. A fine D.S., R. Willett Miller, one page, 8vo, HMS Theseus, 29th July 1797. The manuscript document is a Midshipman's certificate of diligence and sobriety, stating, in part, 'These are to certify the principle officers and commissioners of His Majesty's Navy, that Mr. William Hoste served as Midshipman on board His Majesty's ship Theseus under my command… during which time he behaved himself with diligence and sobriety and was always obedient to command.' Boldly signed at the conclusion by Miller. With minor age wear to the folds, otherwise about VGWilliam Hoste (1780-1828) British Royal Navy Captain, best known as one of Lord Nelson's protégés, Hoste was one of the great frigate captains of the Napoleonic wars, taking part in six major actions.In June 1797 Hoste joined the ‘troubled’ ship HMS Theseus along with Horatio Nelson and a few other handpicked officers, including Ralph Willett Miller, in order to restore order. The would-be mutineers were won over and in July 1797, the same date as the present document, Theseus was present at the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, although Hoste remained aboard and took no part in the assault. In the following year Hoste was still on board HMS Theseus when she participated in the decisive British victory at the Battle of the Nile, one of Nelson’s most historic defeats of the French Republic's navy.
