About This Item
Whitehall, 14 April 1709. 2 pp. 12 x 7 inches, in fine condition, with an integral blank leaf tipped on to a card mount. This handsome letter is signed by Lord Stamford [Thomas Grey, second Earl of Stamford, 1654-1720, president of the board], Sir Philip Meadows, R.Monckton, Charles Turner, and J.Pulteney. Sir Philip Meadows (1626-1718) had a distinguished career as a diplomat, representing Cromwell in international treaty negotiations. Meadows was the author of several works, including Observations concerning the Dominion and Sovereignty of the Seas (1689). Although little commercial value would accrue to England on this voyage, the Committee nevertheless recommend that a Pass be issued, believing that the said Marquis, when at Cartagena, will be a Friend to Her Majestys Subjects in their Carrying on a Trade from Jamaica to Cartagena, and other parts on that Coast; the great Advantage whereof We need not mention.
