About this Item

"These are to signify unto you his Majesty's pleasure that you provide & deliver or cause a robe provided and delivered unto Francis Rogers Esq, keeper of his Majesty's standing Wardrobe at Whitehall, one great Elbow Chayer & footstoole for his Majesty and . chayers of crymson velvet with crymson fringe & . back Chayers of Crymson Velvet with Crymson fringe for his Majesty Service in the Privy Gallery And this shall be your Warranty. Given and my hand this 14th day of August 1672 In the 24th year of his Reign. St. Alban. To the Right Honorable Ralph Montagu Esq Master of his Majesty Great Wardrobe & John Deputy there." Approximately 300 x 185 mm, 12 x 7� inches, age-browned and spotted, right hand edge strengthened with narrow strip of old paper, slightly chipped to corners and edges, 3 folds at sometime, small typed label at foot. The date of the letter 1672 does not agree with the 24th year of King Charles II reign. This confusion has been kindly explained by a professional historian, King Charles II dated his reign from the death of his father 1648-1672, making 24 years confirmed by silver coins issued in 1672 with ANNO REGNI VICESIMO QUARTO around the edge. This letter was taken from an old card folder containing items connected with Samuel Pepys. The folder was put together by Willam Upcott (1779 1845) a well known librarian and author, who also collected large quanties of books, manuscripts, letters and other ephemera. See Margaret Willes, The Curious World of Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn, the Introduction for information on Upcott. MORE IMAGES ATTACHED TO THIS LISTING, ALL ZOOMABLE, FURTHER IMAGES ON REQUEST. POSTAGE AT COST.
