PALMERSTON DISCUSSING THE SALE OF EMBLEY PARK WHICH BECAME THE HOME OF FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
PALMERSTON
(Henry John Temple, 1784-1865, Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister, 3rd Viscount)
Excellent Autograph Letter Signed to "My dear Stanley"
telling him that he "ought to buy Wellow it would be a very Important addition to your Estate, & is so directly adjoining as to belong to your Natural Boundaries as Buonaparte would have said. Some part of Embley wuold be very convenient & desirable to me - we will act in in concert upon this subject and I trust may be able to effect arrangements satisfactory to ourselves - I have not heard how the Property is to be sold & probably this will be settled by the Executors, but I should think that the whole would be too large a mass to be offered in one lot, because there can be but few competitors for so large a Purchase, as Wellow alone cost Heathcote 60,000, including the living. I should think the next probable & advantageous arrangement for the family would be to put up Wellow & Embley separately & in that case the probability is that Emley as being a Place & a Residence would sell the dearest but we will talk over all these matters when we meet which I conclude will be in Hampshire at Easter ...", 3 sides 4to
