Manners (Charles Cecil John, Marquess of Granby, Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire) [Copy Letters], c. 418 manuscript letters, some on more than one p., watercolour portrait of Manners tipped in at front of first vol., bound together as 3 vol. in handsome dark green morocco, gilt, extremities lightly rubbed, a few stains to top edge, g.e., 8vo, 1852-58.
⁂ A near complete record of copy letters sent during Charles Cecil John Manners' tenure as Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire, presumably in a secretary's hand and signed Granby until March 1857, when signed Rutland on mourning letter paper with the Belvoir Castle stamp. Most of the correspondence is of a local nature, with his primary duty being the organisation of the local militia and includes references for soldiers, instructions to his deputy and other subordinate officers.
