PEEL ROBERT]: (1788-1850) British Prime Minister 1834-35 & 1841-46. LITTLETON EDWARD (1791-1863) 1st Baron Hatherton. British Politician, Chief Secretary for Ireland 1833-34. A.L.S., Hatherton, one page, 8vo, n.p., n.d., to Robert Peel ('My dear Peel'). Littleton announces 'This is the Biscuit Medallion of Sir R. Walpole, which I mentioned to you' and continues 'It has been broken, & is of little value - I think it must have been done from a Wax Medallion by Dessier, who was a man who worked both in marble and wax about 80 years ago - & whose name I see at the bottom'. A letter of interesting association linking two British Prime Ministers. Very slight, minor traces of former mounting to the right edge of the verso
