COBBETT
(William, 1762-1835, Soldier, Farmer and Writer, Radical Reformer, from 1832 M.P. for Oldham)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Halliwell
telling him that he had "duely received the Petition, and I wrote to inform the parties of it, but it has not been as it was last year. I have been in attendance every day, and so has Mr Fielden, with a Petition of his. I have about eighteen Petitions, and never have been able, yet, to present one. I am exceedingly sorry that you should have had any trouble about it, or that the Petitioners should have had any trouble. I am here for a change of air, in the hopes of getting rid of the worst cold and hoarseness that I ever had in all my life. I beseech you, therefore, to excuse me for writing so short ...", 1 side 8vo., Normandy Farm, 9th April

COBDEN
(Sir Richard, 1804-1865, Radical and Liberal Politician, Campaigner for Free Trade and Peace, Associate of the Anti-Corn Law League and the Cobden-Chealier Treaty)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Miss Owen,
saying that he is “afraid you have overrated my ability, though certainly not my desire, to gratify your wishes with reference to the House of Commons. Members of Parliament have the privilege of giving one order only each evening for the admission of a gentleman to the stranger’s gallery. But we have no right to give a similar order for ladies. There is a ladies gallery holding 21 only, for which it is necessary to book plans in the list kept by the Sergeant at Arms, but it is generally fully bespoke for a week in advance & it is not easy to secure more than two seats in one name for the same evening. As I did not know how long you intend to remain in London it is not in my power to say whether I can obtain the admission you seek - but if Mr Atwood or yourself & sisters will honor me with a call at my lodgings 38 Lower Grosvenor St any morning... I will do my best to carry out your wishes...”, 3 sides 8vo., Midhurst, 20th May

(Richard, 1804-1865, Statesman)
Autograph Letter Signed to W. R. Baillie
telling him that "At present no day is fixed for my motion - I stand second on the motion paper for the 30th, but am afraid I shall not be able to come on - it is very difficult by the rules of the House to choose the time when a member will bring in a motion, it is in fact altogether contingent upon the lottery of a ballot ...", 2 sides 8vo., London, 19th April
