1825 four page entire sent by SIR HENRY WELLESLEY (British ambassador in Vienna and younger brother of the DUKE OF WELLINGTON) to one Henry Broughton in London, who appears to have been a figure of political influence behind the scenes.


Sent VIENNA via HUNINGUE (French-Swiss border transit stage for mail) then thru France to England.


Fascinating contents covering political situation and referencing an unspecified proposal requiring input from various high level figures (Lord Melville, William Wilberforce and the Chancellor).


Most intriguingly Wellesley is openly critical of his brother. Seal is not official government or embassy seal but appears to be for Harwich where the Wellesley family had long standing interests and influence.
