Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady Polwarth. Sorry Lady Polwarth has had so much trouble about the writers gown. Agrees to the proposals, price, starch and worsteds. Health of Lord Hardwicke. Suspects Lady Grey would be uneasy removing from London if she apprehends any increase of disorder.

15 Jul [1789?]

From: 1789 To: 1789

Daughter Mary is happier than ever she was in her life with a beautiful and gentle horse which Mr Carew's brother has provided for her and which she rides out on every day and visits most mornings at the stable. Asks if it is true that Lady Charlotte Villiers is to be married to Lord William Russell, Lord Courtney to Miss Manners, Mr Fox Lane to Miss Pitt, daughter of Lord Rivers, [Hon. Marcia Lucy Pitt, daughter of George Pitt, 1st Baron Rivers married James Fox-Lane in 1789] Mr [John] Campbell to Lady Caroline Howard. Also asks if the new opera house is to be in Leicester Fields.
