Description (What the record is about)
-
As well as the correspondence of the elder and younger Pitts, Sir Edward Hoare's papers (formerly part of PRO 30/8) include some of John, 2nd Earl of Chatham, and also correspondence, etc. of the Taylor family. The papers as a whole consist of official, semi-official, estate, personal and family correspondence, etc. As might be expected, much of the Chatham/Pitt correspondence consists of solicitations for appointments, promotions and preferments, but the papers also cover a wide variety of other subjects.

Custodial history (Describes where and how the record has been held from creation to transfer to The National Archives)
- The Chatham and Pitt papers listed here must have originally formed part of the collection in PRO 30/8, but remained in the possession of the Taylor family, William Stanhope Taylor, also a great-nephew of John, Earl of Chatham, being the other executor. They then passed to Sir Edward Hoare who inherited them through his mother, a direct descendant of W. S. Taylor and, therefore, of the elder Pitt.
