JELLICOE John Rushworth

Autograph Letter signed. A.L.s FROM EARL JELLICOE

1909. 4pp notelet (two pages blank), measuring 7.0 x 4.5 ins (approx. 18.0 x 11.5 cms), on blind-embossed Admiralty stationery, dated 14 January 1909, last (blank) page lightly dusty else a near fine copy. THE ENTIRE LETTER IS WRITTEN, DATED AND SIGNED IN JELLICOE'S HAND. Jellicoe writes to one 'Mr. Trill', evidently an old shipmate from HMS Ramillies. 'I was very glad to hear from you that you are well and strong. Long may you remain so. I wish we could have the Ramillies commission over again. I am very glad that your boy is coming to Portsmouth. I hope it will be managed all right. I am glad to say that Lady Jellicoe and I are both very well. I hope some day at Portsmouth we may come across you, but I am much tied to the office here. I would sooner be fitting out nets at sea'. John Rushworth Jellicoe, Admiral of the Fleet Earl Jellicoe (1859-1935) commanded the Grand Fleet at Jutland. He was appointed to HMS Ramillies, new flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet, which he commanded from 1893-7 (probably the period referred to in the letter). He later served as First Sea Lord and was raised to the peerage in 1925 as 1st Earl Jellicoe. AUTOGRAPH MATERIAL BY JELLICOE IS EXTREMELY SCARCE.
