Description (What the record is about)
-
Folio 175. Letter dated at Godstone, Surrey from Edm [Edmund Keene], Bishop of Ely to 'My Lord' regarding the latter's promise to mention to the Spanish Ambassador, at his taking leave, the pretensions he (the Bishop) had on the Spanish Court for the present of embassy due to 'Sir Benjamin' [Keene, Ambassador to Spain from 1729 - 1739 and 1748 - 1757]. The Bishop [younger brother to Sir Benjamin] comments 'It is indeed an uncommon case that a person, that had spent his life in public embassy, with so much credit to his own Court, and with such approbation at the Court where he resided, should never have received a present of that kind either in Spain or Portugal'.
