THE FIRST MASTER OF THE POSTS SIR BRIAN TUKE - 1534 SIGNED LETTER TO THOMAS CROMWELL;
|
|
2000 |
|
c.1534 Entire Letter (pencil date; also historically dated to 1534/40) in fine condition (very slight toning along two edges) from London/Essex (?) with trace of small seal and clearly signed "Brian Tuke"; addressed "To my good Mafter Secretary" (presumably in London). AN IMMENSELY IMPORTANT EXHIBITION ITEM, BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED LETTERS FROM SIR BRIAN TUKE (c.1478-1545), BRITAIN'S FIRST "MASTER OF THE POSTS":- the other letter (also to Cromwell, but dated 1533; see Philip Beale's "History of the Post in England", plates 8.2/3 & pp.234/5 for full illustrations and transcript) is in the State Papers in the Public Record Office. Sir Brian Tuke was J.P. for Kent from 1512, French Secretary to Henry VIII from 1522, Treasurer of the King's Household from 1528 and Sheriff of Essex from 1533. He was "Master of the Posts" from at least February 1512, and this involved many important State duties; for example he accompanied the King during the Invasion of France in 1513, taking 14 messengers along with them. The Posts were the key to all communications between the State and the Continent. Tuke's work as Master of the Posts was a pivotal role during Henry VIII's most powerful years. This letter (full transcript included) petitions Cromwell (c.1485-1540, who was Henry VIII's Principal Secretary from 1534 until his execution in 1540) at the request of Tuke's wife "in Essex" to intercede on behalf of one "Hereforde of Plymouthe", and get him released on bail from "The Flete [Prison]", because Hereforde's wife was teaching (?) Tuke's daughters "to work" (with millinery?). Clearly a case of using influence at the highest level and responding to a nagging wife! This is not merely the only first Master of the Posts letter in private hands, but it is also a very early internal letter and a very rare example of a personal letter sent between two of Henry VIII's most important courtiers. Rightfully the much admired Historical Page One from the Barrie Jay Exhibition Collection. Provenance:- purchased from a small local stamp shop over 30 years ago |

HERTS. - VERY EARLY STATE LETTER FROM "HARTFORDE CASTOLL"; 23rd Jan. 1564 Letter (originally this would have had a separate outer address sheet, being on State business, but the full address appears at the foot of the letter itself) signed by "Winchester" (Queen Elizabeth's Treasurer and "W: Mildmaye" (the Queen's Chancellor of the Exchequer), regarding the repayment of a lease payment for a property in the "Citie of London", addressed "To oure lovinge frende Richarde Stonley, one of the Tellers of the Quene's Matie's Receipt of the schequire ". Very fine; a very early internal letter that would have been carried by State messenger to London. |

URGENT PRIVY COUNCIL LETTER FROM GREENWICH; 28th Dec. 1585 EL (toned contents but v. fine address panel) from "Grenewche" (the Court of Queen Elizabeth) addressed "To or verye lovinge frende Mr. Doctor Cesar, Judge of her Mat's Courte of the Admiraltie " (presumably in London), seeking his opinion about developments in "the lowe contryes" and the validity of a "placarte" there that has been guaranteed by the State. The letter is signed by five different Privy Councillors, which was an indication of the letter's importance and urgency; the Lord Chancellor (Sir Thomas Bromley), Lord Treasurer (William Cecil, Lord Burghley), Lord High Admiral (Charles Howard), Treasurer of the Royal Household (Sir Francis Knollys) and Lord Chancellor (Sir Christopher Hatton). Very rare thus; almost certainly carried by Royal Messenger. PHOTO - see plate no. 8 |

1598 "HAST HAST POST HASTE" LETTER SIGNED BY "RO. CECYLL" WITH NINE TIMED ENDORSEMENTS FROM LONDON TO CHESTER; 14th-16th Sept. 1598 EL (professionally silk-backed but 95% sound, fine and very attractive with three red wax seals on left flap with slight toning adjacent) from "Court" in London, dramatically addressed thus:-"For hir Matie's Affayres.To my Lovinge frend the Maior of Chefter.From ye Court ye 14th of September.Ro. Cecyll. Hast Hast Post Haste ."
This letter was of the utmost urgency and so it was sent by the State Post Express system and endorsed by each Postmaster along the route where new horses were provided. It travelled 188 miles in less than 2 days as revealed by the eight Postmasters' endorsements on the right hand flap; "Santalbans after iiii the after noone. At Brickhill at 8 [at night]. Att Toster [at] xi [at night]. at Daventrie at iii in the morninge. At Coventrye past 4 in the morninge. at Litchfield at ix in the morninge. at Stone the iii in the afternoon. [Chester] at vi in the afternonn. " There is a further timed endorsement inside the letter; "Rd. the 16 Aprill 1598, vi in the Morng." which was presumably written by the addressee himself. The contents are brief and probably refer to an enclosed letter destined for Ireland; "I pray you send away this lre according to the direction. For it concernes her Ma's service, who is being well satisfied with the diligence and duty by wch yor Towne doth her Mty in all things commanded them for her Maty's service, and so I rest, yor loving frend Ro: Cecyll ". PHOTO.ONE OF VERY FEW SUCH "HASTE POST HASTE" LETTERS REMAINING IN PRIVATE HANDS, AND ARGUABLY THE MOST ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE. WONDERFUL EXHIBITION CENTRE PIECE.Provenance:- Barrie cannot remember exactly where he acquired this gem, but he knows that it was over 30 years ago and probably from a manuscript dealer with help from Martin Willcocks. See the June 1979 PJGB article which illustrates this letter (vol.89, no.2, pp36-7). |

Fernandez had brought more sugar from Brazil to Lisbon than he had declared. Very mysterious......?! PHOTO - see plate no. 8 |

He sends the letter by "....this bearer, my wife, wiill aquaint your lordship ...." and seeks the Earl's help to intervene with Parliament to get him released. The letter's date may be the legal year and so actually be of March 1643, after the start of the Civil War. Manchester was a very senior Parliamentarian at this early stage of the War.

VERY RARE "PAY THE POST" ENDORSEMENT DURING THE CIVIL WAR PERIOD ; 1st July 1644 EL (minor overall creasing) from "Dover" addressed "To Captaine Collen present this At Sitenbourne [= Sittingbourne, Kent] or else where ", redirected in a different hand; "deliver these at the Black Lion against Lincolne's Inn in Chancery Lane. Pay the post ". The contents are an invoice for beer. While there was no national postal service during the Civil War Period, it is thought that the "Dover Foot Post" continued to carry mail between London and Kent (for the Parliamentarians especially), so this endorsement indicates that the Captain had gone to London, and the person redirecting the letter chose not to pay the postage, hence the Dover Post was to collect the postage on delivery. Extremely rare; very few postal endorsements of any kind have survived on letters of the 1642-9 period, and this letter was sent at the height of the War; this letter probably reached London on the day the battle that the Battle of Marston Moor was fought (2nd July 1644)!.

SMUGGLED ROYALIST LETTER ; 28th March 1645 EL (some weakening of the paper), folded very small and merely addressed "For Mr. Edward" [Heath; see p.copy of a later letter illustrated in Willcocks's "England's P.H." ex this correspondence] and not sealed, with cryptic contents mentioning some other letters to a "Mr. Llewellin" that the writer fears have not reached him, signed "E.W.". The Edward Heath in question was a staunch Royalist who later fled to France and undertook an under-cover correspondence from Calais to England. This letter was anonymous and folded small because of the likelihood of its falling into Parliamentarian hands. Rare thus. PHOTO - see plate no. 8 |

EARLY NEW-POST "3d" POSTAL CHARGE ON LETTER FROM CORNWALL TO STAFFS. ; 17th Jan. 1653 EL (dated "1652", but the 3d rate indicates 1653, see below; minor edge wear) addressed to "Lichfeild in Stafford Sheire " with a clear manuscript "3d" charge below the address in a different ink [beside the addressee's unrelated filing note "daughter Skrymger "]. The letter appears to be from Cornwall, because the writer says; "...[send] thuerty pound & if you can find noe other way, I pray you send [it] by the carrier & writ by the post where I shall receave it. If you dyrect your leters to be left at the hand & ford in Cornewell, for Mrs. Skrymsher, I will take care the[y] may com to mee ..." Remarkably early letter from Cornwall, and one of the earliest recorded 3d-rate letters sent by the "New" official P.O. service. The charges were 3d for single letters sent "above 80 miles". Only 3d from Cornwall to Staffs. (presumably via London) seems a bargain! Martin Willcocks ("England's P.H., p.14) records that the post-Civil War "New Post" commenced on 18th Jan. 1653 (see the notice in his plate 6), but it is thought that it started in December 1652, unless this is First Day Cover of the New Post...?

Beneath the address and the word "Hast" is an endorsement "p. New poft" in a second handwriting, which indicates that the letter was to be carried by the "New Post" which was set up late in 1652 (?; see previous lot) and was eclipsed by the re-establishment of the regular post in June 1653. This letter would have been sent free of postage, being addressed to the Navy Commissioners. One of only two letters known with this spectacular "p. New Poft" endorsement.
