Baron Selborne, the Lord Chancellor
In early July 1881, Roundell Palmer, Lord Chancellor in Gladstone's Second Cabinet, writes from his home at
30 Portland Place in London on personalised stationery to E.G. Salisbury, Esq., in Chester. The addressee was
a prominent citizen in the city, and had been a Liberal candidate for the political seat of Chester in 1868.
Baron Selborne adds his signature to the cover, which has a Id Venetian red on the front, as well as transit
marks on the reverse. In the following year of 1882, Palmer was created Earl of Selbome and Viscount Wolmer.
