Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady de Grey. Thanks for the benefaction of £100 - writer has acquainted Anna Maria Yorke of it by today's post. With a similar sum from the writer, it will be amply sufficient to do all that is wanted at Horkesley Park.

30 Oct 1817

From: 1817 To: 1817

Includes some comments/description of the house. Will be pleased to hear when Lady Grantham is safely housed in Town; the writer feels anxious about a long journey for ladies so near their time. [Henrietta Frances Robinson gave bith to a still born son in November 1817]. The Bishop of Chester [George Henry Law] sent in 4 covers 'his last charge to the clergy of the diocese...' Comments about his opinions. Will include an account of Mrs Joseph Yorke's visit to Malvern, which may amuse Hompesch. Separate sheet describes visit of Joseph Yorke and family to old Mrs Plumer. They stayed four days. Writer believes Catherine Yorke did not leave the house for the entire stay.
