| Title | Letter from the Princess of Orange to Mrs Clayton [GEO/ADD/28/149], expressing her concern that Dr Duglas [sic] should not lose good opinion since he had always doubted 'about ye condition I was suppos'd to be in' and asking Mrs Clayton to say as much to any detractors, her satisfaction with Dives and her wish not to part with her, and her hope to see Mrs and Mr Clayton if she goes to England in the summer; with English transcription [GEO/ADD/28/021a and 065 (part 2)]. |
| Date | 14/25 April [1735?] |
| Writer | Anne, Princess Royal, Princess of Orange (1709-1759) |

| Notes | The original letter is GEO/ADD/28/149. The English transcription begins on GEO/ADD/021a and continues on one half of GEO/ADD/28/065 part2. All these documents bear the circled number '80', which shows the order in which the original letter was bound.
Written from the Hague. The Princess of Orange appears to have used both Old Style and New Style dating. A later pencil note has suggested the year date may be 1734; but another, more recent, pencil note has suggested 1735 as more likely, which is possibly more correct, as it seems it was clear the Princess was not pregnant [the implied subject of the letter] by April 1735.
