JOSEPH HUME SIGNATURE, on letter addressed to Messrs Barclay & Co, Bankers, London, postmarked 'FREE/14JA14/1833', with signature Joseph Hume at bottom left edge. Very fine.
Joseph Hume (1777-1855) was appointed a British Army surgeon in India in 1797. His time in India proved to be rewarding to him because of his knowledge of Indian languages. Later, on his return to England and retirement from the Army, he became a politician with a fierce reputation for containing excessive government spending. His political career spanned about 40 years.
