Collection, in a single hand, of 61 letters from Henry Seymour-Conway to his brother, Lord Francis Seymour-Conway, in which he discusses military, political, and social news between 1744 and 1784. The collection contains discussion of his military service in the Netherlands in the 1740s, including a detailed description of battle against the French in a letter dated June 30, 1743; he also mentions his campaign in Germany during the Seven Years' War, including his altercation with Col. Beckwith, his irritation with a commission he has been given, and news of a peace treaty between Austria and Prussia. In 1744 he discusses the practicality of buying a regiment, asks his brother for help raising the money, and offers to sell his own South Sea stock. He writes several letters from Dublin Castle reporting on Irish politics, including some movements in the House of Lords regarding "papists." In England, he complains about prime minister George Grenville's uncivil and unjust treatment of him and defends his decision in the affair of the Britannic Legion and in the John Wilkes affair which led to his dismissal from court and military office in 1764. Conway also occasionally mentions American affairs, including one letter in 1766 which reports the repeal of the Stamp Act, and another in 1774 in which he expresses pleasure on hearing that violent measures in America had been rejected for the present. Numerous letters make reference to friends and family, including his wife Lady Ailesbury and Conway's close friend Horace Walpole, who offers financial assistance after Conway's dismissal; becomes ill in 1765; and visits Conway after Conway's retirement in 1784
Description:
Henry Seymour Conway (1719-1795) was an army general and politician. He fought in the War of the Austrian Succession; served in Ireland during the Jacobite Rebellion, and in Germany during the Seven Years' War. He was successively promoted to major general in 1756 and to lieutenant general in 1759. Sitting in the House of Commons from 1741 to 1774 and from 1775 to 1784, Conway became a leading member of the opposition, opposing the King's action against John Wilkes regarding general warrants in 1763. In 1765, he became secretary of state for the southern department in Lord Rockingham's ministry, where he promoted a policy of reconciliation towards the American colonies. He supported the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766, and opposed the taxation policies of Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles Townshend. He criticized British prosecution of the war with the American colonies and played an important part in the House of Commons' resolution against continuing the war. In 1747, he married Caroline Bruce, countess of Ailesbury (1721-1803), and had one child, Anne Seymour Damer (1749-1828). His aunt Catherine was the wife of Sir Robert Walpole, and Conway maintained a lifelong friendship and correspondence with his cousin Horace Walpole., Francis Seymour-Conway, first marquess of Hertford (1718-1794) and older brother of Henry Seymour Conway, was a courtier and politician. He became a lord of the bedchamber in 1757 and was sworn to the privy council in 1763. He served as ambassador to France 1763-5, lord lieutenant of Ireland 1765-6, lord chamberlain 1766-1782 and again in 1783. He was also lord lieutenant of Warwickshire from 1757 until his death. From 1766-1782, he was a friend and confidant to George III. Hertford supported Lord North's administration and the war in America, in which three of his sons served, and voted against Shelburne's peace preliminaries in February 1783. He was also influential in Irish politics, owning extensive estates in County Antrim, and serving a term as lord lieutenant in 1765-6., In English., The manuscript is accompanied by typed transcription., Pasted into letter of Aug 22, 1744: printed and handwritten note about Cadivor ap Gwaethvord, Lord of Cardigan Iscoed., Laid in with letter of August 11, 1748: list of contents of manuscript., Laid in with letter of May 11, 1764: newspaper clipping from Gazetteer, dated May 9, 1764, concerning Conway's dismissal., Vol. 2 with original binding, now housed separately.

A man in back view is clumsily seated on a rough-looking horse which has just lost a shoe, carrying on his head a trunk labelled 'Sr Dennis Doyl with Speed'; he kicks his apparently stationary mount. In the stream is a thatched hovel (left) with the sign: 'Good dry lodgings'; a man walks from it through the water carrying a child and a young pig. His wife stands on the bank wringing out her petticoat, while a large pig struggles to land. A cow looks from the window, two cats are on the roof. A board on the bridge is inscribed 'Dangerous when you See the 2 Small Posts in the Water become Invisable - if you cant Read Inquire at Davy Drench's whole tell you all about it.' A sailing-boat has collided with the bridge, and large stones fall on the heads of its two occupants. On the right is a large tree; a man sits astride a branch which he chops off, while a man who holds a rope attached to it is looking quizzically over his shoulder at the rider carrying the trunk. Man and branch are about to fall on a barrow laden with crockery. On the tree-trunk is a board on which timber-workers are depicted with the inscription: 'My honest Frinnds as you pass by Were hard at work and very dry.'

"Hibernia (left) seated under a tree receives advances from four men representing France, Spain, Holland, and Portugal. She holds a spear, and a shield on which is the Irish harp. At her side is a large roll inscribed "Irish Linnen" and a corded bale or packing case. The tree is inscribed "Shelaley" [An obsolete form of shillelagh, the term for a cudgel deriving from "a wood of that name [in County Wicklow] famous for its oaks". Grose, 'Dict. Vulg. Tongue', 1785, cited O.E.D.] and a branch over Hibernia's head is encircled with a wreath inscribed "Shamroke". She says, "I was once the Wife of John Bull, but now Ive a License to trade for myself, my Ports are free for all Mankind to enter". Lord North looks from behind the trunk of the tree, saying, "Had it not been for the Disturbance in America you should never have had a free trade I'm as far North as any of you". France approaches, hat in hand, his right. hand outstretched, saying "I have no vear de Shirt since Fielding take de Holland vich Mynheer sent me, I'm forced to make shift vith de Ruffle, if you vill let me into your Port for to get a bit of Linnen, I vill give you de French P--x, vich is all I shall have left ven de var is over". (It was a common gibe among the English populace that Frenchmen wore ruffles without shirts.) Spain, wearing a feathered hat, cloak, and slashed doublet, says "Let me enter your Port I'll give you plenty of Spanish Gold for your Linnen, tho' if Rodney comes to see me often I shall have none left". Holland, wearing a high-crowned hat and smoking a pipe, says "I want apiece of Linnen to send to America, she wants a new Shift but can't come for it least she should catch cold, if you'll let me enter your Port I'll give you a Dutch Herring and a glass of Hollands after it to keep it from rising in your Stomach". Portugal, dressed like Spain, except that his doublet is not slashed, says "I keep a Vineyard in Portugall, if you'll let me into your Port, I'll supply you with Wine at a cheap rate for your Linnen, if you'll drink none from France or Spain.""--British Museum online catalogue
