Cressett, James, 1655?-1710. [Letterbooks], 1693-1703.

Title: [Letterbooks], 1693-1703.

Manuscript letterbooks in several secretarial hands containing copies of incoming and outgoing correspondence, official documents, and diplomatic papers associated with James Cressett, Envoy Extraordinary to the courts of Brunswick and Celle (Lunenberg) from 1693 to 1703. Volumes 1 and 2 contain copies of outgoing letters from Cressett to members of the British government, including Secretaries of State Sir John Trenchard, James Vernon, Sir Charles Hedges, and Sir William Trumbull and Secretary of War Sir William Blathwayt. Other correspondents include the Dukes of Marlborough and Shrewsbury and the Earls of Albemarle and Portland. Volume 3 contains copies of official letters received by Cressett from various officers at Whitehall, particularly Vernon, Blathwayt, and Hedges. Volume 4 contains copies of official diplomatic correspondence between King William and other heads of state in Latin, French, and German; copies of negotiating memoranda, background papers, and drafts of proposed treaty articles; and other diplomatic papers. The major topic of the correspondence is the protracted and multinational negotiations that resulted both in several treaties among various European powers and in the War of the Spanish Succession. Cressett requests instructions and sends summaries of negotiating sessions, current rumors, information from spies and agents, and proposals for future English positions in the talks. Cressett sends much news of events in the royal house of Hanover, including the imprisonment of Georg Ludwig's wife Sophia Dorothea. The letterbooks trace the eventual emergence of Georg Ludwig as the future heir to the English throne as well. Other topics include the various discussions concerning the succession to the Spanish throne, the alliances formed against France, and the first campaigns of the war.
