Sir Robert Peel A handwritten and signed letter by , Conservative Prime Minister 1834-35 and 1841-46. 'My dear Foster, If you are disengaged will you dine with me on Thursday next the 29th. I have asked Sir Walter Scott - and Southey - I am not sure if they can come - but hope they will. Ever yours, Robert Peel. Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet, FRS (5 February 1788 - 2 July 1850), was a British Conservative statesman who served twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1834-1835, 1841-1846), simultaneously serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer (1834-1835). He previously served twice as Home Secretary (1822-1827, 1828-1830). He is regarded as the father of modern British policing, owing to his founding of the Metropolitan Police Service while he was Home Secretary. Peel was one of the founders of the modern Conservative Party. Good Condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £5.99, EU from £7.99, Rest of World from £9.99
