Autograph letter signed to Sir Humfrey Ferrers, 1 pp., folio, with integral address leaf and a fine impression of his red wax seal, no date but late 16th century. Blount urges Sir Humfrey, and two others, to settle their dispute with one Master Skevington, erosion to top right hand corner affecting two words, otherwise in good order
Note: Blount fought with Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, in several military campaigns and joined with him in the ill-fated conspiracy to capture and depose Elizabeth I in 1601 (when they famously bribed Shakespeare to stage his longest play at the Globe Theatre in order to distract attention). Blount, like Essex was executed as a result.
