CHARLES II (1630-1685), King of England, Scotland and Ireland. Autograph letter signed ('C.R.') to 'my Lord Hide' [Laurence, Viscount Hyde, later 1st Earl of Rochester], Windsor, 2 May 1681, 'I finde by Mrs Buckly [?Lady Sophia Bulkeley, maid of honour to Queen Catherine from 1671] that tho she is satisfied that she shall be payed at Michelmas as I spoke to you, yett there is an other person to be satisfied w[hi]ch is Mr Duncome, therfore you will take care in this particular that we may be all satisfied', one page, 4to, integral address leaf (seal tear), archival strengthening to margins.
Hyde was at this stage an effective first lord of the treasury, and achieved an uncharacteristic improvement in the King's chronically embroiled finances: 'Hyde's prudent management of the king's finances presumably account for his being raised to the peerage as Viscount Hyde of Kenilworth in April 1681, and earl of Rochester in November 1682' (ODNB).
