Zustand: Very good. - Over 45 words penned on 9-1/4 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide creamy white watermarked paper. Apparently only one page of a longer letter, likely missing an attached leaf, from what is claimed by the endorsement on the verso to be a letter of recommendation. Only the closing lines and sentiments are present. "Lady Clifden presents her best compliments to you and adds her wishes to mine to see you once more in good health & spirits in this old Castle." Signed "Clifden". "Brig. Gen. Clarke" is penned in darker ink in a contemporary hand next to the Viscount's signature. A few letters are smudged, including the first letter in Viscount Clifden's signature. The letter is folded for mailing with ink annotations centered on the verso indicating that the letter was penned by Lord Clifden on December 8, 1788 and received nearly a year later on September 1st, 1789. The letter is additionally identified as "Recommending Mr. [ ]". There are remnants of gray paper adhering to one edge of the verso indicating that the letter was once mounted. Very good. The Irish peer & politician James Agar, 1st Viscount Clifden (1734-1789) was a Member of Parliament for Gowran. He, together with William Ponsonby, 1st Baron Ponsonby, held the post of joint Postmaster General of Ireland from 1784 to 1789.

Eleven lines of text are followed by the 'List of Subscribers', in three columns headed: 'Name', 'Rate for every complete 10/-' and 'I hereby authorise the deduction of my Subscription from my salary', the last subdivided into 'Signature' and 'Rank'. The form has not been completed, apart from the 'Name of Office' being given as 'Tydd St Giles', with a pencil note: 'Please return this form to Wisbech as soon as possible'. TWO: Printed circular by NFSP General Secretary E. W. Walker , on letterhead of the National Federation of Sub-Postmasters, Kelvedon, Essex, 19[09]'. 3pp, 4to. Bifolium with perforated form addressed to Walker, and dated to 1909, on second leaf. The circular asks the recipient to join, explaining the aims of the NFSP, and the benefits it has been 'instrumental in obtaining'.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
The recipient of the letter, the 5th Earl of Chesterfield, was Postmaster General between 1790 and 1798. The 'Mr. Palmer' mentioned in the text is John Palmer (1742-1818), MP for Bath, who was Comptroller General of the Post Office between 1786 and 1792. Harraden appears to have been regarded by his superiors as a whistle-blower and trouble-maker. In 1788, as Clerk of the Money Book in the Inland Office (he is elsewhere described as ''Clerk of the letter-bill, and keeper of the cheque-book in the surveyor and comptroller general's departments'), he devised a general system for the registration of property letters. Although the plan was not fully implemented, some of its suggestions were adopted in 1792. Shortly afterwards he was the subject of a curious appendix to a parliamentary paper, which describes him as a tool of 'the Junto', and 'the instrument of their duplicity and the victim of their vengeance at a Board. The report prints 'Mr. Harraden's Plan (his object being 'to prove that a thousand pounds had been stolen in one week', which 'Lord Chesterfield admitted'), and Mr. Stowe's Observations on it'. The extreme craft and imposition which they practised on the Postmaster General, in the affair of the 1st of March, 1796, require to be particularly exposed.' 3pp., folio. Bifolium addressed on the reverse of the second leaf to 'The Right Honrble the Earl of Chesterfield'. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. Harraden begins by stating that he is enclosing 'a Letter addressd [sic] to Lord Walsingham in the year 1798 soliciting his Sanction to a recommendation of Mr. Palmers wherein He was pleasd to remark that my services merited an encrease of Salary and earnestly entreating his Lordships Consideration to the hardships of my case but nothing favorable arising therefrom His Lordship entirely forgetting every Circumstance and now compelld by necessity, I have renewd the subject and wrote again and also beg leave to lay before Lordship [sic] some features of my situation that may serve to explain, and satisfy you, that the application merited a more considerate fate than has yet attended it -'. He recounts that in 1800 he 'solicited to retire from the Post Office and was granted a Pension of £53 . 6 . 8 P annm but so overwhelmed in pecuniary affairs owing to the error I fell into by following the first Law Authorities and bringing an Action your Lordship as Postmaster General that from this Cause alone I was under continuall [sic] arrests and suffered near Three Years Imprisonment and now hold my Liberty by a Public Act of Insolvency and as the Income Tax has reduced my Pension under £12 P Quarter I have been forced to Petition the Postmaster General for some relief stating that the Price of every article in Life is raised nearly Double since it was granted'. He quotes the unfavourable response to his petition, and proceeds to explain how he 'sustained the loss of near £500 for endeavouring to recover Money actually expended in a Public Service'. The next paragraph concerns the recommendation of 'Mr. Palmer' for an advance in the pension of £20 per annum, as a result of Harraden's 'attendance and unremitting efforts to his useful Plan [ ] for it was observed by all I was indefatigable Night as well as Day in the Cause being often called up by Opening all Letters and expresses to Mr Palmer for the first Several Years of his being Comptroller General'. He is 'apprehensive of Trespassing too much' on Chesterfield's time, but feels regarding his case that 'if a Blot could be justly made against me in official matters I would not solicit any great or good Man in my favor and if such Gentlemen as Mr. George White Thomas [MP for Chichester] Mr. Wm. Hayley if Earlham [friend of William Cowper and patron of William Blake] and others did not approve my Conduct and think me worthy they would not have interested themselves in my behalf'. He ends with a flurry of flattery, stating that he was 'in great hopes' when his 'good Friend' Thomas waited on Chesterfield 'purposely on my account and then wrote me word your Lordship was so far favorably inclined as to give hope'.
