[Thomas Erskine, Baron Erskine, lawyer and Whig politician, Lord High Chancellor] Autograph Note Signed Erskine to a brother.

One page, cr. 8vo, fold marks, good condition. Docketed on verso re. subject , an Armorial enquiry (presumably a family matter). A difficult hand [??] Our Father had a Griffin & two ostriches but in all the books [ours?] are two ostriches - I find in our Heralds Office that younger Brothers created peers take the [?] of their own family with a Mark of their descent as younger sons such as a Mullet in my case as some other distinction. | Yours affectionately | Erskine.
