2618   imagePETERLOO MASSACRE & CHARLES BABBAGE - IN FUTURE P.M. "GREY" ABUSE OF FRANKING LETTER: 20 Aug. 1819 EL ex "Glasgow" to London to a journalist of the Radical newspaper the "British Statesman"; sent under cover (to avoid postage) via the future Radical Prime Minister, Earl "Grey" for him to forward (illegally) as a franked letter! Earl Grey was in Malvern and a week later he obliged and franked it; so it has the Malvern boxed RH "No.1" & “WORCESTER/Penny Post” on the front (ms "1") and a red boxed London "TO PAY 1d ONLY" (it would have cost 2s-1½d more if not franked!). The interesting contents refer to the Peterloo Massacre of 16th Aug.; "The fatal occurrences at Manchester will I hope keep down the bad spirit which pervades the lower classes almost universally…a Mr. Babbage from one of the English Universities will obtain the Mathematical chair [in Edinburgh]…". However, Babbage (1791-1871) - the "father of the computer" - did not get the post on that occasion. The writer was clearly not keen on the 'lower classes' rebelling but was happy for them to be killed by the military in Manchester while unarmed. [One wonders if Earl Grey, who franked this letter, would perhaps not have approved of its contents…]. Doubly fascinating and important historical letter. [Ex Cavendish 3 Mar. 2022; lot 1621 realised £280 + BP.] Cross Reference: FREE MAIL, LONDON POSTAL HISTORY, WORCESTERSHIRE, PARLIAMENTARY MAIL (Image)
