Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady de Grey, sent from Forthampton. Thanks for venison. Grandson John Thomas Waddington is due in a few days.

Dec 1819

From: 1819 To: 1819

Mary Anne Yorke was at a play in London recently - probably in Lady de Grey's box. Comments regarding how many livings a clergyman can hold. Plumptre comes (with his two sisters who are to keep his house) soon after Christmas. This is fortunate for Commeline, who has very delicate health and is ill again at present. Comments about Commeline's sermons. Comments relating to civil unrest 'I hope the eyes of the good people of England are now open to their danger....' Lady Hardwicke may ask the writer for a subscription to the corporation charities for the placing out in schools or giving apprentice fees with the orphans of poor clergymen. Believes grandson Reginald Yorke will go to sea in March.
