Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Hingham, sent to Hearn at Hodsock Priory. - Asks Hearn to inform Mrs Chambers that he has a 'full Court Dress' which belonged to the late Lord Wodehouse, consisting of 'a light Blue Velvet Coat lined with Rich Satin in good Preservation a Satin Waistcoat Beautifully Embroider'd small Cloths of the same Material as the Coat another waistcoat Beautifully worked with Gold about the same Age' with 'Buckels for the Same'. Would let them have the clothes if they will give him a 'Little trifling Present'; would not like to sell them as he keeps them 'for the respect I had for such a good old Master he was to me'.
