Letter from Agneta Yorke to Amabel, Lady Lucas, sent from Bath. [Typed transcript available].

Feb or Mar 1807

From: 1807 To: 1807

Does not intend to visit London this year. May spend a few weeks at Clifton [Bristol] when accommodation can be found, following which will join Lady Yorke at Cheltenham; who has been ordered to try the benefit of those waters. Reference to a production of Mother Goose seen by Lady Lucas, comments about child actor William Henry West Betty, and mention of a new play called 'The Curfew'. Mention of Mr Whitbread's motion for a Bill to reform the poor laws. Asks if Lady Lucas knows anything of 'the poor, much injured and persecuted Princess' who did not appear at court as expected. 'I have never heard whether she was forbid to see her daughter while under disgrace.' Asks if Lady Lucas likes Lord Eliots new fitted up rooms.
