D. LETTER BOOKS OF ADMIRAL SIR JOHN JENNINGS Letter-books of Admiral Sir John Jennings, a Lord of the Admiralty (b. 1664, d. 1743). These two volumes were presumably acqu1red by Lord Strathnairn together with the estate of Newsells in Barkway, co. Hertf., which he inherited on the death of the Hon. Caroline Mary, widow of the Rev. L. V. Harcourt (in accordance with the will of Mrs Harcourt's mother Hester Elizabeth, the wife of John Peachey, 2nd Baron Selsey, and a granddaughter of Sir John Jennings), as the eldest surviving son of his mother, Frances Rose, who was herself a lineal descendant of Admiral Jennings's father (cf. J. E. Cussans, History of Hertfordshire, 1873, i, P. 142). The contents consist of copies of letters addressed by Jennings chiefly to the Admiralty but also to the Secretaries of State and to foreign sovereigns, etc.
