  • Scope and Content
    Describes heavy storm of the previous day. Cannot provide any certain information about the Hardwickes; Lord Hardwicke in a letter said he hoped they would be able to leave Town about the 30th or 31st, but their plans are subject to variation. They have had a letter from [Viscount] Royston dated 8th July from Gothenberg; he was to set out on the 10th for Heninsborg and proceed from there to Copenhagen. The Colletons are at Tunbridge. [Charles Garth Colleton and wife Charlotte Jemima, nee Pole-Carew]
