Letter from Philip Yorke, later the 2nd Earl Hardwicke. "Take the liberty of laying myself at your Lordship's feet upon an occasion which makes me the happiest of men. The honour of an alliance with so noble a family ... and the amiable and engaging qualities of Miss Campbell ... afford me such ... sentiments ... as are rather to be conceived than expressed". Signs himself "Your Lordship's most dutiful son".(Refers to the Duke of Kent). [typed transcript]
