24739‘P Place Portland Place London / June 24 1798.’. See his entry in the Oxford DNB and the History of Parliament ‘the foremost diplomat of his age’. It was Malmesbury who went to Brunswick to fetch the Prince Regent’s betrothed Princess Caroline and whom he asked to get him a brandy on his first encounter with her three years before the present letter was written. A legible script was clearly not a prerequisite for a successful diplomat as the handwriting of this missive is scandalously bad: practically on a level with that of Dr Parr. 1p 4to. On recto of the first leaf of a bifolium the verso of the second being franked with partial ‘HENLEY’ postmark and red wax seal ‘Henley June twenty four 1798 / Revd Mr Tawcence / Partridge / near Cranbourn / ’. The franking signature ‘Malmesbury’ appears between two lines in the customary bottom-left corner. Heavily aged and worn with short closed tear to letter and repaired long closed tear across leaf carrying address. The whole of the following transcription is tentative ‘Dear Sir / After consulting with Mr Wilt & with my bailiff they both agree that is not let for Portland sheep & that as plantation that it will be my to keep them from there so much wilder than there it is for that reason that I have to thank you & I beg you to thank your Father for the trouble you have taken in this subject which for for the present at least I have given you uselessly. / I should hope your affair will be settled to yr satisfaction. I am glad yr brother & are so well.’ See Image ‘P Place [Portland Place, London?] / June 24 1798.’ unknown

42350issued by the City of Moscow in 1908 with coupons text in both English and Russian folio with attractive vignette at the head of a knight slaying a Dragon Moscow At the end of the 19th century Europe lived under the law of alliances. As Germany and Russia move away Saint Petersburg and Paris get closer. Russia needed money and France needed friends to face the Triplice Germany Austria and Italy. "Slovophily" turns into hysteria. In 1888 Moscow issued four loans of 500 million gold francs under the blessing of the French public authorities. The Franco-Russian Alliance of 1891 ensured the success of the loans which multipled. Savers then rushed to the bank counters to show their patriotism and lend to Alexander III we will even build a bridge in Paris over the Seine that bears his name and then to Nicolas II and the City of Moscow. In 1904 the Russo-Japanese war caused panic but the banks were reassuring though after the October Revolution Lenin decided to stop recognising the debts of the old regime. unknown
42351Imperial Government of Russia 4% State Loan of 1902 bond issued by virtue of the Imperial Ukase of the 1st March 1902 to realise the contribution due to Russia in compensation for the "loses incurred in consequence of the Chinese disorders." the Boxer Rebellion "the annual payments to exactly correspond with the annual payments of interest and amortisation of the part of the contribution due to Russia which China engaged to pay in virtue of the Edict of the Chinese Empoer of of the 29th May 1901." folio A consortium of Russian German and Dutch banking and financial institutions were involved in the administration of this loan and payment of interest against coupons was paid from 18th June-1st July and from 19th December-1st January at various locations. An interesting anomaly is the denomination of the bond which is stated in Reichsmarks. The Reichsmark was not formally adopted as the German currency until 1924. The bonds were negotiable and accepted as security for Government contracts for deferred excise duties and for payment of customs duties at prices to be fixed half-yearly which would be not less than 90% of the face value of the bonds. The Boxer Rebellion in China had been followed by the combined military expedition of the powers to the Relief of Peking in which the US shared and the exaction of a huge indemnity of which the States relinquished nearly half of its share as in excess of the actual losses. The US protested against Russian demands upon China and actively participated in the negotiations which resulted in Russia's agreement to evacuate Manchuria. Russian delays and their policy have led Japan to declare war Secretary of State Hay's diplomacy was influential in limiting the zone of hostilities and the good offices of President Theodore Roosevelt brought about the conference between the two powers at Portsmouth N.H. which terminated hostilities. unknown
