W1/2881

Alderman [later Sir] Matthew Wood to Lady Anne Hamilton

Not dated, May 1813

From: 1813 To: 1813

Fears public opinion is vulnerable on the letter which the Princess is said to have written to Mitford. Hopes to be able to carry the address, but it would be a triumph if a contradiction to the letter could be established. Urges the point must be cleared up to convince the enemies; friends need no convincing. Implores that the ladies round Princess should not commit to paper any of her affairs, even for their friends.
