Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady Polwarth. Arrangements for visit to Wrest - 'we will keep Mad'mlle with us...till then'. She is very happy here, but has very short sight and can enjoy little of the beauty of the area. [May refer to Jacqueline Charlotte, Comtesse de Hompesch].

3 Aug 1793

From: 1793 To: 1793

Has received a very good account of Mrs [Jemima] Carew. Mention of the taking of Valenciennes and the death of Ensign [Lionel Robert] Tollemache. Asks if Lady Polwarth knows anything of a family called Cater, said to live near Bedford. There are three sisters, co-heiresses to an estate which has fallen to them on the death of a brother. Their mother was a Beaumont, sister of Sir George Beaumont. Lady Somers spoke well of the sisters.
