TitleLetter from George, Prince of Wales, to Mary Hamilton, on an imputation regarding forcing 'W R' to reveal comments about the Prince's behaviour during the hunt
Date11 October 1779
WriterGeorge, Prince of Wales (1762-1830)
AddresseeHamilton, Mary (1756-1816)
DescriptionThe Prince refers to Hamilton's comments that when staying at 'W...r' [?Windsor] he 'got into low company', either by being too free among the servants, or by associating with bad company while hunting. The Prince admits that he familiarises himself too much with the servants, 'especially with that little Devil W R', and describes Mr Nevil and Mr Lisle who were part of the hunting party.
In postscript the Prince asks why Hamilton sends him the rose colour when she likes the brown best, as he wishes to wear the one that she likes the most.
Includes a note on returning some letters sent by Hamilton.
