Vernon, Edward, Admiral, 1684-1757
The papers were purchased at Sotheby's by Sir James Caird in 1934. There are a few letters, 1714 to 1716, from Vernon's father and brother but the main part of the collection consists of correspondence received and draft replies, 1739 to 1742 and 1745, as well as Vernon's own order books, 1739 to 1741, and his out-letterbook to the Admiralty. Also included in the collection are a few papers of other members of the Vernon family, 1632 to 1837.
