Scope and content
A series of free frank covers, 1834-1840, largely to members of the Howard Gibbon family. Most bear the signature of the 12th Duke of Norfolk, his son the Earl of Surrey [later 13th Duke], and grandson Lord Fitzalan [later 14th Duke], though there are also signatures of Thomas Greene and Abel Rous Dottin. Matthew Charles Howard Gibbon, Edward Howard Gibbon, and Mary Eliza Howard Burt, née Gibbon, were the illegitimate children of Charles, 11th Duke of Norfolk, recognised and assisted by the ducal family.
As well as the free frank covers, there is also an envelope addressed to Rev. Edward Howard Gibbon, [1850s?], with the signature 'Beauchamp' on the bottom left, a part letter from Sir Robert Buxton of Shadwell Court, Thetford, presenting compliments to 'Mr Gibbon', 22 Jan. [no year], and the end of a letter from John Thomas Pelham, Bishop of Norwich, to E. H. Gibbon [1857 or later].
