Second ruling Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland (1626–1712) serving for just under nine months. Rare ALS in Old English, signed “Crandberry,” one page, 6.5 x 9, dated “27th 87.” Letter to his daughters Elizabeth and Anne. In full: “I had yors by this bearer, of that I had the liberty to express my soule to you; I doe assure you it siths for you; The day is darke, yet I am not without hope: The provinces of the Lord are not to be compromised by Mortals; therefore let us put our trust soly on him, who made all things & governs all Kings his Ey is over all his works. I thanek you for your kind expressions this day if I met with Mr. R.: your brother & selfe have declared what so ever is complyant to your owne resolutions, fixe yourselves give us humly notice: belive I have not been very right by reason of a cold these 5 weeks this day I let blood, I thought I should not have writ, my affections over poages, excuse my going no further than to assure ye.” Cromwell has also addressed the reverse of the second integral page “To the tow Ladyes E. C.; A. O. att Hursley.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, paper loss to second page from wax seal, some light creases, and scattered toning and soiling. The once all powerful protector of England was forced into exile, leaving his children behind. The here offered letter is a prime example of Cromwell hiding his identity in his own country by signing “Crandberry.” Uncommon in any form particularly signed with this variation of his name.
