Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - He and Caroline are 'very much affected' by the death of Elizabeth's cousin [Ambrosius Hubrecht]; he was a 'fine, rare person'; always remembers his speech at Elizabeth and Robert's wedding dinner. Thanks Elizabeth for sending Somerset Beaumont's letter; he was a 'man of society' of a kind which does not exist any more, and 'the new times were too much for him'. Fifty one years ago Sir George made a 'great, even frightful sacrifice' which was proof of friendliness to Beaumont; it was of no service to him but he never regretted it, and Beaumont and his 'important elder brother' [Wentworth Beaumont] always appreciated it.
