Details:

Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet, autographed handwritten letter (ALS) as Prime Minister, dated May 6, 1842. Peel writes to the Earl of Lincoln enclosing material from Prince Albert and asking the Earl, at the time a Privy Councillor, to see him "at some convenient time."

This letter likely deals with the mentorship/friendship between Prince Albert and Peel.

Overall in fine condition.

Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet, FRS (5 February 1788 – 2 July 1850), was a British Conservative statesman who served twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1834–1835, 1841–1846), simultaneously serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer (1834–1835), and twice as Home Secretary (1822–1827, 1828–1830). He is regarded as the father of modern British policing, owing to his founding of the Metropolitan Police Service. Peel was one of the founders of the modern Conservative Party.

Henry Pelham Fiennes Pelham-Clinton, 5th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne, KG, PC (22 May 1811 – 18 October 1864), styled Earl of Lincoln before 1851, was a British politician.
