(x) Documents Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson 1802 (13th May) entire A.L.S. to Robert Brent in London, the address panel with handstruck "2" in black with unframed "Two Py Poft/Unpaid/Low Tooting" with red timed oval on the reverse. " Merton My Dear Sir, I feel and so does Lady Hamilton very much obliged by your kind present of seeds . I saw Mr Nepron (?) yesterday & mentioned your name he said he had every disposition and that you had seen Mr H Addington on the subject. Lady Hamilton denies me to present her said compliments to you and Mrs Brent and Believe me sir yours most faithfully Nelson & Bronte" The letter has been affixed to backing paper and there is some damage to the cover flap; good to fine. Photo Henry Addington, 1st Viscount Sidmouth, (1757 -1844) was a British statesman who served as Prime Minister from 1801 to 1804. He is best known for obtaining the Treaty of Amiens in 1802, an unfavourable peace with Napoleonic France which marked the end of the Second Coalition during the French Revolutionary Wars. When that treaty broke down he resumed the war but he was without allies and conducted a relatively weak defensive war, ahead of what would become the War of the Third Coalition. In 1802, Nelson bought Merton Place, a country estate in Merton, Surrey (now south-west London) where he lived briefly with the Hamilton's until William's death in April 1803
