    Thomas Waghorn 1834/35: Five letters all addressed to Waghorn, including an important 1834 entire from India House written and signed by 'Hugh Lindsay' who later gave his name to one of the pioneer Red Sea Steamers, mailed to Waghorn in Rochester, Kent; further letters from the India Board and another from Lord Palmerston's secretary denying him a promotion to Lieutenant (this mailed to Waghorn in Falmouth with the Mediterranean fleet).
