An Original Six Sided Hand Written and Signed Letter from Robert Monsey Rolfe, 1st Baron Cranworth to Foreign Secretary Lord Clarendon. Dated 1856. A fabulous long letter discussing the dispute between Queen Victoria and the Queens Uncle Prince Ernest Augustus Duke of Cumberland who was King of Hanover over the latters claim as male head of the House of Hanover to the jewels formally belonging to Queen Charlotte. By the date of the letter the King was already dead but his son King George V of Hanover clearly still maintained the claim which was subsequently upheld by a commission appointed in 1857 possibly as a result of this very letter. A full translation of the letter is typed and photographed. Robert Monsey Rolfe, 1st Baron Cranworth, 1790-1868 was a British lawyer and Liberal politician. He twice served as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. Size 188mm x 120mm Condition is good. Light folding crease. More images can be taken upon request. Ref17707.
