Letter from Jacqueline Charlotte Comtesse de Hompesch, to Lady Lucas, Wrest. Comments about purchase of 1/6th in the lottery - 'if we lose I shall be the cause of you being 15s 9d the poorer - the newspaper will tell you how great our chance of gaining part of the 3 £50,000 and £20,000 etc. and your good luck.... raises my hopes of success in our partnership.'

Fri 20 [No date Sep/Oct 1815]

From: 1815 To: 1815

The Joseph Yorkes have been at Shortgrove and return today. 'Your play answered very well and I was much amused and interested with the poor maid and magpie.' The Colletons have been in Town for a few days. Writer has a constant visitor in young Philip Yorke. 'His poor mother [Anna Maria] is not in a good way; Sir Henry Halford's opinion her is not very satisfactory - he says the lungs are not affected and he thinks she will do well after all but owns that she has sufficient to give great uneasiness to her friends and that her complaint is a general wasting away'. Sir Charles Pole is now better - it is not a liver complaint, of of the spleen.' Mrs Eliot was delivered at 6 months of a dead child, but is doing well.
