- Lot Description
CORNWALLIS, Charles, 1st Marquess Cornwallis (1738-1805). Secretarial Autograph Letter Signed by Cornwallis. Warley Camp: August 17th 1796. Addressed ?Sir? to Lt. Col Calvert Dept Adj. General. One 4to page on one 4to leaf on white paper. Secretarial letter in an unknown hand, signed by Cornwallis at the bottom (?Cornwallis?). Approximately 12 ? x 7 ??. Three horizontal and four vertical creases, some marginal rubbing, some soiling near top margin. Matted and framed under glass with an engraved portrait of Cornwallis. Frame size: 17 ? x 17 ??. Fine. With label on verso stating this was framed at Goodspeed?s Bookshop in Boston. This letter is a letter of recommendation for promotion of Captain William Raymond to the rank of Brigade Major General. Despite a long and distinguished career as a military leader and governor for several important British possessions, he is perhaps best known today as one of the leading British generals during the American Revolutionary War, and was the general who surrendered to General George Washington and the Comte de Rochambeau on October 19, 1781, thus largely ending the American Revolutionary War (Cornwallis surrendered by proxy, and had General Charles O?Hara give his sword to the victorious American and French forces).
