Autograph Letter Signed marked ‘Private’ to ‘my dear NELSON’
(Horatio, 3rd Earl, 1823-1913, Politician) saying that “As the most revered of all our members may I write to you to ask whether you would give us your support in an effort we are making to add to the portrait of Lord Selborne which the House of Laymen already possesses the picture of his successor Lord Ashcombe. This would seem, just as in the pictorial records of some ancient college, in accordance with the spirit of tradition which it may be hoped will gather round this assembly. If you should be willing to subscribe it would be of course of assistance to us on the first list of subscriptions, but you have I know such calls upon your generosity that I shall fully understand if you cannot help...”, 3 sides 8vo., Hatfield House, Herts headed paper, 19th June

Autograph Letter Signed marked ‘Private’ to ‘my dear NELSON’
(Horatio, 3rd Earl, 1823-1913, Politician) thanking him for his “paper. Why don’t you bring in a bill. I am very anxious that any one who has ideas with reference to the improvement of th House of Lords should put them into a definite Shape, in which we can examine them. The proposition that a certain reform is necessary is one suitable for consideration. There is no initial objection to it. But the proposition that the House is bad and needs reforming somehow is a very different one - & could not be adopted in the form of a resolution or a motion for Committee without giving a dangerous foothold to the enemy...”, 3 sides 8vo., Foreign Office headed paper, 16th February
