Hand-addressed and free franked envelope, 4.5 x 3, adrresed in Wellington’s difficult to decipher hand to “Mrs. Sporter,” dated at the top, “1838,” and franked in the lower left, “Free Wellington.” Triple matted with a small plaque and original embossed 1852 Wellington mourning card, to an overall size of 11 x 14. Accompanied by an original Waterloo medal, 1.25" in diameter, issued to Thmas Swann, 3rd Battalion, 14th Regiment Foot. Original medal and clip is a ‘renamed’ menu, meaning the original owner’s name was removed, with Swann’s added later, most likely after purchasing one from someone else in his outfit. Medal is on a contemporary replacement ribbon and presented on a wooden plaque. In very good condition, with scattered toning, creasing and soiling to envelope, and a couple of small tears.
