Nice question - difficult to answer in its entirety.
I can tell you where there are documents and letters concerning Robert Biddulph, but I cannot tell you whether these have intact seals or not.
If you mean intact, as in unopened, then this is extremely unlikely.
I suggest you contact the archives I have linked below to get more information.
These are :
Link 1 - National Archive of Wales : Documents from Chirk Castle
Link 2 - JSTOR : Letters of Robert Biddulph
Link 3 - National Archives : Herefordshire Record Office & Bodleian Library, Oxford
Link 4 - The Darwin Project : Correspondence with Charles Darwin
Good luck !

Well, if I had them I certainly wouldn't give them up! Sounds like they'd be worth a small fortune.
