293 NEWCASTLE (WILLIAM CAVENDISH, DUKE OF). Autograph Letter signed. Dated Welbeck_6:th of Julye 1632, and addressed "To the Right Ho:bl: the Lord Fayrfax". Conveying the news of the christening of "a newe borne sun", which "will putt me in mynde to be a better Husbande". But he is quite honest with himself and his correspondent, and even while forming his firm resolutions he knows that they cannot be completely carried out: there is an insuperable barrier. "My Lord I can nott be so good a Husbande yett no not in Contemplation as to leave Great Horses.

Two leaves, folio, the letter being written on the recto of the first leaf, and the address, by Newcastle, on the verso of the second. With four portraits-1. Engraving with the pencilled inscription, "Sir T. Fairfax with the Queen's Flag captured at Naseby"; 2. Engraving of Fairfax by Sherlock; 3. Engraving of Lady Fairfax by J. W. Cook, from an original portrait by Gerard Zoust, ca. 1656-formerly at Leeds Castle; 4. Reproduction of Van Dyck's portrait of Newcastle, with facsimiles of signatures and seals. Bound in half calf. Small piece torn at seal.

William Cavendish, successively Earl, Marquis, and Duke of Newcastle, was the famous Royalist leader during the Civil War, when he clashed with the two celebrated Parliamentary generals, Lord Fairfax and Sir Thomas (in due time Lord) Fairfax, the son and grandson of the friend to whom he addressed the present letter, unveiling his heart as a husband and father, and little thinking of the conflicts he would be waging in a few years with men of the Fairfax blood. He was always passionately devoted to horses, and he is chiefly remembered in the literary world for his two books on this engrossing subject, though he was also the author of numerous plays and poems.

Newcastle twice entertained King Charles I in a manner which Lord
Clarendon describes as “stupendous". For the first of these brilliant
events Ben Jonson wrote the masque, "Love's Welcome at Welbeck";
for the second he wrote, "Love's Welcome at Bolsover”.

Newcastle's losses through his loyalty and his consequent proscription
by the Parliament are said to have amounted to £940,000 certainly
a stupendous sum for those days. In Clarendon's judgment, he was
"a very fine gentleman". His second wife was Margaret Lucas, poet,
playwright, and philosopher, whose "fairy poems are good enough to
rank with those of Herrick". She was buried in Westminster Abbey,
with the famous epitaph
all the brothers were valiant, and all

the sisters virtuous".
