Autograph Note signed,
stating that I hereby empower Mrs Wilbier to give my proxy vote in favour of Mrs Mary Ann Adlam for the National Benevolent Institution..., 1 side 8vo., 10 Saville Row, Wednesday 20th June no year
The Institution was founded in 1812 by Peter Hervé, painter and benefactor, to provide financial assistance to older people in straitened circumstances. It received a Royal Charter in 1859. It continues to provide financial support for elderly people and it moved out of London to Gloucestershire around the late twentieth century.
