Autograph Letter Signed to an unnamed clergyman, on the back of a printed handbill.

On a leaf roughly 17 x 12 cms. A small strip is missing from the foot, but this does not appear to affect the texts. Aged and ruckled, with a little staining from previous mount at head and foot of printed side. In the Letter Moseley opines that 'the closing of Public Houses during the whole of Sundays would be attended with great inconvenience to the public, and I cannot therefore agree to the object of Promoters of that scheme'. Docketed in the top left-hand corner 'Mark name on list as unfavourable'. The handbill, signed in type by John Garrett, D.D. and Robert Whitworth, is intended to accompany 'a very important Report, to which we earnestly beg your kind and favourable attention.' The 'Executive of the Central Association' are 'most anxious to obtain the approval of all the Magistrates in the United Kingdom [...] in what touches so vitally the prosperity of the nation.' After the separation of his parents Sir Oswald Moseley, 6th Baronet and founder of the British Union of Fascists, was brought up by the author of this letter.
