 **************************************************************************************************************

1782

Due to the strains and battles that we fought throughout the American war of Independence, I was appointed to Foreign Secretary and quickly became a well-known statesman.

Many said they always knew I would age and become a politician.  Sincere appreciation is directed towards my good friend and loyal supporter Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire, for devoting her time into creating a campaign to support my efforts as a member of the Whig party here in Westminster. 

 

Addressed to the members of the Whig Party of Westminster,

Although my term in parliament lasted but a mere year, I genuinely hope my supporters have recognized my efforts to abolish slavery. 

Sincerely,
Charles J. Fox

 

''Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.''
