This must be Thomas Brassey, first Earl Brassey (1836-1918), son of the
railway contractor Thomas Brassey (1805-1870). There is a biography of both men in
the Dictionary of National Biography. The son was governor of Victoria,
Australia. His correspondence with various persons is listed by the National
Register of Archives at www.hmc.gov.uk, but there is no mention of any surviving
papers.
