Henry Brougham to Samuel Whitbread II

January 1813

From: 1813 To: 1813

The "remonstrance" has been returned a second time by Liverpool & Eldon unopened, with a note throwing it on the Prince, & offering to communicate verbally. No answer yet. They are in a 'taking'. Asks that the case against her may be got from Sheridan. The Prince in refusing the letter without knowing the contents makes it clear he has nothing to say. Miss Knight, an excellent person, is sub-governess. The restrictions on correspondence is severe. The Chancellor states he would lock up his daughter in like circumstances. The Princess furious & called him a fool. Duke of York & Prince at daggers drawn over military appointments. Quarrel to be referred to the Chancellor (Eldon).
