2 Nov 1803

From: 1803 To: 1803

Called on the Cambridges; walked from Richmond by 9 o'clock to breakfast with them and arrive early in Town. Has been talking to lawyers about taxes and leases. Hears much of the review of the volunteers; the subject began at St.Leonards, Windsor where the writer and Catherine attended divine service at St George's Chapel on Sunday and prayed for the Knights of the Garter. Comments about the French princes who were all at the review. 'I do not like these French generals being here, for I am so complete a John Bull that I am afraid of them, even when them seem most quiet and right headed.' Writer's brother and Mr Carew have been in correspondence about a girl who has been condemned to Botany Bay and who was formerly an acquaintance of Miss Couzens and there are hopes of saving her as it is her first offence.
