Grantham, St. James' Square to Baroness Grantham, Wrest Park They left Cowes last week, and had a pleasant voyage to Southampton, where they stayed overnight before returning to London. Before leaving they had dinner with the King, on his yacht, who was civil and behaved well. As they were leaving by boat, the weather worsened, and the King offered his wife a pair of cloth boots to keep her feet dry and a one of his own embroidered military caps. He thinks that the Bill for the divorce of Queen Caroline will not be passed by Parliament, which he discusses in more detail.
