Letter from Agneta Yorke to Lady Lucas, sent from Bath.

11 Apr 1817

From: 1817 To: 1827

Has seen Lord Hardwicke and his daughter Lady Caldeon for the first time in four years. Lord Hardwicke will remain in Bath until the return of Lady Hardwicke, expected at the end of the month. The little Alexander has been unwell with a bowel compliant, but is now recovered. 'He is an amusing clever child, but fear of a delicate frame.' General family news. Reference to Lady Hardwicke going in Paris and the birth of her granddaughter [Charlotte Stuart, daughter of Elizabeth Margaret Stuart, nee Yorke]. 'I only hope that some severe examples may be made of those committed for treason and sedition - but the trials are delayed so long that I fear nothing to the purpose wil be done and the alarm end in transportation, imprisionment for a few months and a fine...' Mention of trips to theatre, and seeing Howard Payne, a youth from the American theatres, calling himself the American Roscius, who is shortly to appear at Covent Garden.
