Charles Grey, Howick, to Samuel Whitbread II: transcript at W1/2417.

26 March 1804

From: 1804 To: 1804

The Duchess mentioned at Paslow's that Sheridan had been impertinent to Fox there. Fox is good-natured & forbearing. The state of the nation not a good subject for a division. Pitt's concurrence a good reason for choosing any other question. What is to prevent Addington carrying on the government though the King [George III] continue mad. Suggests discussion in newspapers & recommends Francis to do it. Sowed 25 acres oats which next day were covered by a foot of snow. Mary & children well. Is sorry to hear sister suffers from weather. What is thought of writer's father? Sends back the 'Kettle'. His father believes everything he reads in the papers. Did O'Brien write it?
