12mo, 2 pp. Good, on aged paper. A formal letter in the third person. Windham 'is almost ashamed' of sending Sharpe 'anything so trifling as what accompanies this note'. His justification for doing so is the 'wish of having his opinions stated with tolerable correctness on a subject to which Mr Sharpe, as a matter of some interest at the moment, may happen in some degree to have turned his thoughts.' Sharp's name was often misspelt by contemporaries, and he is listed in the index to the online Oxford DNB as 'also known as Sharpe, Richard'.…

2pp., 12mo. Bifolium, with the blank second leaf laid down on page removed from album, which bears on the reverse a biography of Windham in a nineteenth-century hand. The letter begins: 'Dear Robert | I have seen the Pr. of Wales, & have written to the D. of Clarence, as well as to some others - It just occurs to me, that you shd get at University the address of Simpson formerly Tutor there who has a living somewhere in Dorsetshire, & endeavour to learn whether he is likely to be affected by the question. Some of those on the spot will perhaps write, & explain why I have not. Dr Hughes will probably know his direction & perhaps write'. He ends the body of the letter by sending his 'respects to the President', and in a postscript enquires whether 'the All Souls men go unanimously with their member?' Should they not do so, Windham knows, '& may get as many of them'. He ends by suggesting that the recipient ask Dr Hughes 'whether Bishop Bangor can do anything'. Windham was at University College, Oxford, between 1767 and 1771.…

folio. pp. 11. (horizontal & vertical folds, some chipping to spine & small holes along folds of last leaf). WINDHAM, William [1750-1810] [Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in the Government of William Pitt during the French Revolutionary Wars (1794-1801)]. "Instructions for Captn. Foy". Manuscript Document, Signed, dated September 30, 1800. The instructions direct Captain Foy at the King's command to the court of the Prince of Lowenstein to cancel the arrangement for hiring mercenary troops that had been made between Lieutenant-Colonel Cooper and his agent, Captain Gomer, and contain details regarding the settlement of payments. Two years later, in 1802, with Austria and Russia no longer engaged in the war, Britain found herself increasingly isolated and agreed to the Treaty of Amiens with Napoleon's government. Windham was a strong proponent of the Royalist cause and the Bourbon restoration and a vociferous opponent of the peace. When the preliminaries of the Treaty were debated in the Commons on 3 November 1801, Windham gave a speech that ".was the sensation of the evening". He said Addington and Lord Hawkesbury ".in a moment of rashness and weakness, have fatally put their hands to this treaty, have signed the death-warrant of their country. They have given it a blow, under which it may languish for a few years, but from which I do not conceive how it is possible for it ever to recover". (Wikipedia) When Charles James Fox visited France during the peace, Napoleon said he believed Windham's "talents were mediocre and that he was an unfeeling, unprincipled man.I detest him and that Pitt who together have attempted my life". (Ibid.). …
