Autograph Signature on fragment of receipt.

Stanhope (1805-1875) was styled Lord Mahon until his father's death in 1855. Signed 'Mahon' on fragment of document (dimensions 3 inches by 4 inches). Ruckled and discoloured as a result of previous mounting. Until 1846 Mahon was Secretary of the Board of Control for India, and the document would appear to be a fragment of a receipt for his salary. Partly printed, it reads: <...> 24th of June 1846 of Mr Stark | <...>undred seventy five Pounds - Shillings | <...>alary as Secretary | <...>onorable the Commissioners for the | <...> from the 25th of March to the 24th of June to | last | Mahon'.
