Description | The Duchess writes that the vase has been valued by Sir William Hamilton, and that there was the possibility of it being presented to [Napoleon] Bonaparte but [Prince Frederick] William [Hereditary Prince of Brunswick] refused to send it. She also writes regarding her sons pensions and a dispute over their finances, which they wished to resolve by consulting three Princes: Prince Royal of Denmark, [Wilhelm] Duke of Oldenburg and the Duke of Augsburg.. She requested to know if she could [return to England] to Blackheath, as she writes it is not safe to remain, but that she could go to Sweden. Enclosed a printed document from [?Comte] Daru concerning the Intendent declaration that he would administer finances [missing]. |
