Burgoyne Invite from Charles Fox
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Manuscript third person invitation to disgraced Revolutionary War General John Burgoyne from colorful Whig politician Charles James Fox. Singe-page document reads, ''Mr Fox presents his Compliments to General Burgoyne, and requests the favor of his Company tomorrow Evening…at Burlington House.'' Dated Tuesday, 7 February, no year though likely 1786. In 1782, Fox, a staunch North opponent, restored Burgoyne his rank. 7.5'' x 9'' document has small loss at bottom and light spotting, otherwise very good. A wonderful association piece.
