Title
Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady Lucas, sent from Great Horksley. Request for venison to be sent on Christmas day or a day or two after. Laments Lady Pollington's loss of her babe, which the writer understands has kept her low. Also laments for Lady Hardwicke, as the interest she would have had in a new grandchild would perhaps have drawn her mind from it's melancholy state following the death of her son Philip, Viscount Royston.
