| Title | Letter [in French] from the Princess of Wales to Mrs. Clayton [GEO/ADD/28/107], expressing delight at Mrs Clayton's letter, acknowledging her and the Prince's appreciation of 'your freind' [Mr Clayton?], confirming that Walpole has not entered in to 'that ugly scheme' and that he is furious with 'those who have bought', and that 'we will doe [sic] all we can'; with transcription in French and English translation [GEO/ADD/28/057]. |
| Date | n.d. [a later pencil note suggests '? end 1719'] |
| Writer | Caroline, Princess of Wales (1683-1737) |
| Addressee | Clayton, Charlotte, Mrs William |
| Notes | The original letter is GEO/ADD/28/107. The French transcription and English translation are on two halves of GEO/ADD/28/057. Both documents bear the circled number '36', which shows the order in which the original letter was bound.
A later pencil note suggests that this letter might be referring to the subject of the South Sea Bubble, from which the proposed date is presumably taken.
A later pencil note attached to the slip with the wax seal notes 'End Nov. or beginning Dec. 1726', but it is not clear to what this refers. |
