Great Britain: An Order of Payment, December 1705, instructing the Treasury to pay the Duke of Marlborough £1300 for his expenses of £100 per week as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the States Generall of the United Provinces (Netherlands), entirely handwritten, signed on the reverse by Francis Goldolphin (2nd Earl Godolphin) as a teller of the Exchequer. Interestingly he married the Duke of Marlborough's eldest daughter in 1698. Together with a receipt, also handwritten, dated 1647, for the groom of Thomas Fauconbridge. Trimmed as usual with these Exchequer documents. A little grubby but AVF apart from a small repair at lower left (2).
