G. CORRESPONDENCE AND PAPERS OF
SIR JOHN WILDMAN
61689, 61690. BLENHEIM PAPERS. Vols. DLXXXIX, DXC. Correspondence and papers of Maj.-Gen. Sir John Wildman, M.P. ,(b. [ 1621 ?], d. 1693) revolutionary, Postmaster General, 12 Apr. 1689-circ. 28 Feb. 1691, Alderman of the City of London; 1685-1692, n.d. Two volumes. Maurice Ashley conjectures that Wildman's papers were acquired by Marlborough who suspected him of plotting against the government and interfering with the mails; 'His concern over Wildman's conduct of the postal services is proved by the fact that a number of Wildman's official papers as Postmaster General are still to be found in the Blenheim Palace archives': John Wildman, 1947, p. 297. It should be noted, however, that the present papers include material dating from both before and after Wildman's period of office as Postmaster General, as well as papers relating to other posts held by him.
