Chichester Samuel Parkinson-Fortescue, 1st Baron Carlingford, 2nd Baron Clermont (1823-1898) was a British politician affiliated with the Liberal Party. He went by a number of other names including Chichester Fortescue until 1863, Chichester Parkinson-Fortescue from 1863-1874, and Lord Carlingford thereafter. In this brief letter, Carlingford addresses "[Mr.?] Hancock," likely a fellow politician, about a public health bill. Carlingford writes about not receiving Hancock's letter until recently in the first half of the letter. In the latter half of the letter, Carlingford informs Hancock that he does not know of any opposition to the public health bill except for criticism by one of their cohorts, Lord [Redesdale?]. Carlingford then reassures Hancock that if he hears of any other opposition to the bill, he will write or telegraph a message to him.. Manuscript. Book Condition: Collectible-Very Good.
