English soldier and statesman whose career spanned the reigns of five monarchs (1650–1722); his most famous descendent, Winston S. Churchill, wrote a biography of him entitled Marlborough: His Life and Times. LS signed "Marlborough," one page, 7.25 x 9.5, February 25, 1718. Letter to a Lord, in part: "The Bearer Hodges hath an opportunity at present of purchasing something for Himself in His Majesties Service, more commodious to His Affairs than for his Office of the Robes. And hath a very fit person to offer to succeed him, but is so sensible of your favors to Him that he is ashamed to trespass farther on you himself." Matted and framed to an overall size of 13 x 15.25. In very good to fine condition, with some short edge tears.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
