| Title | Letter [in French] from the Princess of Wales to Mrs. Clayton [GEO/ADD/28/100], reporting 'we have all the country gentlemen of the tories [sic] with us', naming the counties, etc., in support and noting 'it begins to grow better every moment', asking Mrs Clayton to 'see what can be done with Carteret' and to ask Bishop Neville 'what He expects of the amber club [sic]', and to tell her friend 'this is the time when He may shew the love that he has for his country'; with transcription in French and English translation [GEO/ADD/28/048]. |
| Date | n.d. [a later pencil notes suggests '? 1719'] |
| Writer | Caroline, Princess of Wales (1683-1737) |
| Addressee | Clayton, Charlotte, Mrs William |
| Description | The Princess asks Mrs Clayton to 'see what can be done with Carteret' because 'I am afraid of him', and to encourage her [unidentified] friend because 'if others don't see the matter clearly in that light He must shew it them'. |
| Notes | The original letter is GEO/ADD/28/100. The French transcription and English translation are on two halves of GEO/ADD/28/048. Both documents bear the circled number '29', which shows the order in which the original letter was bound.
The proposed date presumably relates to the implied subject matter of the letter.
The transcript is worded slightly differently from the original. |
