Charles Grey, Howick, to Samuel Whitbread II

6 October [1797]

From: 1797 To: 1797

Is glad to have heard about poor Tom & Colonel Watley's kindness. As to Howden & Docker feels the propriety of all said. Some sort of present ought to be made. Has it been mentioned to writer's father? A present should be made - suggests copies of Engleheart's [probably George Engleheart, painter of portrait miniatures] picture set in gold snuff-boxes. Sir John & Lady Swinburne left yesterday, as did Bennet. Love from Mary & writer to Bessy. Have you a gardener at Southill fit to instruct?
