Description	GEO/MAIN/54039: Lord Dunmore is forwarding a message of the King to the Prince of Wales; the King thinks enough time has passed since the birth of the child, so that she should now be baptized; the King also establishes that he will be the child's godfather and the Queen and the Duchess Dowager of Saxe-Gotha [Fredericka of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg] the godmothers. YThey will all send their representatives and the Archbishop of Canterbury to attend the ceremony. [Copy] GEO/MAIN/54040: a series of messages from and to the different parties involved in the conversation: Frederick acknowledges the receipt of the King message and reassures him that his orders are going to be followed to the letter. He asks again to be forgiven for the past event. The King replies briefly and just to reinstate that he gave the orders and nothing ought to be changed. Frederick, then, writes to the Queen asking her assistance to help his reconciliation with the King. He is glad she will be godmother. The Queen is glad to be godmother but she cannot help with anything else.
