Fowey Parliamentary Borough. 1818-37 Entire letters concerning parliamentary elections in the rotten borough of Fowey, nearly all to or from Alexander Campbell who was first elected one of the two Fowey MPs in 1818 after the House of Commons found the winning candidate Lucy guilty of bribery and overturned the result. A fascinating series of letters, all with transcriptions of the contents which include much political intrigue and chicanery, and almost make present day politicians appear honest! One letter is from Campbell's political adversary Joseph Austen, who suggest a meeting in order to agree an understanding between the candidates. Postal markings include "FOWEY", mileage marks of Bodmin, Lostwithiel and Fowey, etc. (19).
