| Title | Letter [in French] from the Princess of Wales to Mrs. Clayton [GEO/ADD/28/127], forwarding a letter from Lady Portland, reporting that Princess Amelia is 'much oppress'd' and asking Mrs Clayton to seek the advice of 'your freind' [sic] [presumably Dr Freind] as to whether Princess Amelia should be carried into the garden tomorrow; with transcription in French and English translation [GEO/ADD/28/011]. |
| Date | n.d. [presumed to be before 1727] |
| Writer | Caroline, Princess of Wales (1683-1737) |
| Addressee | Clayton, Charlotte, Mrs William |
| Notes | The original letter is GEO/ADD/28/127. The French transcription and English translation are on two halves of GEO/ADD/28/011. Both documents bear the circled number '56', which shows the order in which the original letter was bound.
In the original, it appears as if the forwarded letter is from 'L.B.' rather than Lady Portland, but the transcription states it is from 'mi Lade Porland'. |
