KING CHARLES II (GREAT BRITAIN) - MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT SIGNED 03/22/1676 CO-SIGNED BY: THOMAS "FIRST EARL OF DANBY" OSBORNE:
As King he orders payment of £20 to Hugh Browne, countersigned by Lord Danby as Lord High Treasurer. Danby would soon land in the Tower of London, charged with corruption and abuse of office.
Manuscript Document signed: "Charles R" as King of England and "Danby" as Lord High Treasurer, 1 page, 9x11¾. Wallingford House (London), 1876 March 22. The King orders payment
of £20 to Hugh Bane, former Provost of Strabane in Ireland. CHARLES II (1632-1712) claimed the English throne after the execution of his father, Charles I in 1849. The Scottish Parliament recognized his kingship, but that of
England did not. Defeated by Oliver Cromwell on the battlefield, he fled to France in 1851. He was returned to the throne in 1860, although Charles dated his monarchy from 1849. Charles II's reign is known as The Restoration, and he
was called the Merrie Monarch. He presided over a nation grateful for a return to normalcy after the conflict and puritanism of the Cromwell's Commonwealth. While executing some of those who had sanctioned the execution of
his father, Charles II was careful not to make sweeping claims of absolute monarchy. He died with no legitimate children, and was succeeded by his brother, James II, who did try to rule as an absolute monarch (and a Catholic) and was
overthrown after three years.

ROBERT H. GODDARD - TYPED LETTER SIGNED 03/07/1921:
ABOUT HIS ROCKET TO THE MOON
Historically Important TLS: "R.H. Goddard", 1p, 8¼x11. Clark College, Worcester, Mass., 1921 March 7. To William L. Straus, Jr., Baltimore. On stationery listing Goddard and C.E. Melville as Professors in the Department of
Physics of Clark College. In full: "In reply to your letter of March 3, I might say: 1) The work at present is confined to the construction of a small model and there is no immediate prospect of financing anything more than this.
2) Regarding your second question, I admit that there is no oxygen in the atmosphere on the moon, but beg to call attention to the fact that any of the commercial flash powders contain an oxygen-carrying compound, which is usually
potassium chlorate. The experiment which has been given considerable publicity took this fact into account, the flashes being exploded in a glass container in which the pressure had been reduced to about 1/60 of atmospheric pressure."
