Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady de Grey, sent from Forthampton Court. Death of Mary Beauchamp [Mary Frances Juliana Beauchamp-Proctor, daughter of William Henry Beauchamp-Proctor, nephew of Agneta Yorke, nee Johnson].

25 Aug 1820

From: 1820 To: 1820

Writer hopes that Agneta Yorke will consider Mary's death a happy release, there being no chance of the poor girl's recovery, and her departure was gentle and composed. Mary's death was the day before Miss Broome's wedding, which went off very composedly as they had not heard of the melancholy event. The bride and groom set out immediately on a tour to the west. Mr Buckle, his 'lady elect' and her mother have gone to Wales. Anna Maria Yorke has taken a place called Brent Eleigh Hall in Suffolk [Some details given]. Writer will hear more when grandsons Philip and Charles soon to arrive; Philip is to recruit for the Guards in Gloucester. Son Joseph Yorke and family have spent 6 weeks at Malvern, and mean to remain some while longer.
