[Als from Edward Nicholas to Montagu Bertie, Baron Willoughby de Eresby.]
Whitehall 11 May 1640.
1pp. als in ink, folded with wax seal, addressed in the same hand, scarce. Later ink mss. description.
A manuscript letter from Sir Edward Nicholas (1593-1669) at the time a clerk in ordinary to Charles I's Privy Council. As one of Charles's most trusted advisors he helped negotiate the Treaty of Uxbridge (1645), Charles's surrender to the Scots and the Surrender of Oxford (both 1646). He continued to serve Charles II in exile, becoming secretary of state in 1654, a role he kept after the Restoration. The letter is written to Montagu Bertie (1608-66), the year he became Baron Willoughby de Eresby, probably for raising 'The King's Life Guard of Foot' for service in the First Bishops' War of 1639. He fought at the First Battle of Newbury, Cropredy Bridge, Lostwithiel, Second Battle of Newbury and was wounded at Naseby. At the Restoration he officiated as Lord Great Chamberlain at the coronation of Charles II on 23 April 1661.
