King of Great Britain and Ireland (1762–1830) from 1820 to his death. The eldest son of George III, he alienated his subjects with his prodigious spending and contemptuous treatment of his wife, Queen Caroline, whom he refused to admit to his coronation. Manuscript DS, signed “George PR,” one page both sides, 7.75 x 12.5, January 29, 1812. Document addressed to the Lord Mayor of London. In part: “Being informed that the poorer sort of our subjects in and about Our City of London do suffer great hardships at this time and being graciously disposed to do all that lies in Us for their relief and support, We have thought…for Publication to be made in all the Parish Churches…to collect the Benevolence of Charitable and Well-disposed People…for the support and Relief of Our said Poor Subjects.” Boldly signed at the top by the Prince Regent. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, some mild toning, and a couple of light pencil notations. The embossed seal affixed to reverse of second integral page is toned, but crisp and intact.
