Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady de Grey, sent from Forthampton. Etchings, registers and venison all arrived yesterday. Thanks for the pheasant sent for Mary Anne Yorke; writer agrees with her pyhsician that game is the lightest food she can possibly eat - the freest of fibres and easiest to digest.

11 Dec 1820

From: 1820 To: 1820

Forthcoming marriage of Amabel Pole-Carew and Francis Glanville, which is to take place in February. Visited Miss Plumptre and saw the brother from Eton - could not make him hear as he is so deaf, but was not uncommunicative. He informed the writer that an address from Windsor was signed by only 500 people, and they cheifly of the humbler trades folk. Encloses £1 for park keeper. Audit day is just over - tenants are a bit backward, complaining of the very low price of corn. Does not wish to lower rents again until it is a measure generally approved.
