| Title | Letter from the Duke of Clarence to J.W. Daniell, written in Ems |
| Date | 26 June 1826 |
| Writer | Clarence and St Andrews, William, Duke of |
| Addressee | Daniell, J.W. |
| Description | William acknowledges the receipt of Daniell's letters; he returns, signed the proper papers. He gives instructions to be forwarded to Slade for works to be done around the house, the farm and the garden.
[Sir John] Barton communicated to him that Augustus and his brother [George?] have been to Portsmouth - William does not want to blame either Daniell or Merewether, but it should not have happened. He wonders about the weather and whether a dry and hot or a rainy summer would benefit the crops.
Switching to politics, William hopes that his friend Pallmer "will be sitting member with Donnison for Surry"; he also wonders about the situation between Lord Chancellor [Henry Goulburn] and Palmerston [Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston].
Talking about the works at the house [Bushy], William hopes that Slade is getting on with the painting works.
He concludes with an update of his next movements. |
