TitleLetter from Ernest, Duke of Cumberland, to Sir Jonathan Wathen Waller
Date21 Sep 1832
DescriptionWritten from Kew, addressed to Phippy.
George going on perfectly well, with proof of improvement in his vision: his himself having had a conversation with Sir Herbert Taylor, asking him to report to the King his honest opinons, backed by the Duke of Wellington and Lord Eldon, on the dangers of the dissolution of Parliament and the need to put down the "Political Unions": his having had two unconnected letters, which he deems it his duty to submit to the King: his trust of Waller to read them to the King, but no-one else: his brother knowing Lord Mansfield personally, having great respect for his character: his wish to be of service to his brother, for whom he would lay down his life.
Two sheets, with 5½ pages of text.
