PEPYS, Samuel (1633-1703). Endorsing signature (“Pepys”) at the conclusion of a fair copy of a manuscript letter to Lord Dartmouth, Admiralty, 5 January 1689.
Two pages, 294 x 184mm, with integral address leaf bearing his franking signature (small loss from seal tear does not affect text).
Shortly after the abdication of James II, Pepys orders Lord Dartmouth to send two frigates to Chester in the service of the Prince of Orange, to "Cruize between ye Coasts of England & Ireland". He adds, “I am commanded to write thus pressingly to you about it. And for preventing ye loss of any time in it. I have sent two of these one to ye Nore the other to ye Downey’s this Post.” At the conclusion, Pepys adds his signature, noting that the letter is “A true Copy.”
