Collection | William Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh |
Description | William includes mention that [?John] Hunter had returned; a letter from his mother [Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales], who was 'obstinatly' denying her illness; and thanks his brother for his affection during his illness, and that due to his 'gracious injunctions' he will endeavour to take care of his health. William writes about a shocking letter from George III concerning a lady and her brother, which had featured in the papers. [This is probably referring to the marriage of Henry, Duke of Cumberland to Anne Horton, which took place the previous month, as it was claimed in the newspapers that her brother Colonel Luttrell had insisted upon the marriage.] |
