Collection | George III Private Papers |
Description | Portland conveys the news from the Houses of Commons and Parliament to George III concerning the provision for the establishment of the Prince of Wales, particularly the allowance of £50,000 from the Sinking fund, which with revenues from other funds such as the Duchy of Cornwall, will make up £100,000. Portland suggests that giving the Prince of Wales this amount will not allow George III to support his other children. Portland addresses the Prince of Wales's' debts to tradesmen and how they are to be paid. |
