Scope and content
Chelsea. - 'I have expressly named you and the Lady Olivia to His Grace [the Duke of Manchester], as the benevolent persons who, under Providence and him, are to get me a Copy of that Paper or Letter of Oliver’s, without farther travel or trouble of mine!' A note at the top of the letter explains that this is 'Lady Olivia Sparrow; Aunt, I think, to the then Duke of Manchester' [she was in fact his grandmother]. The friend of FitzGerald's at Kimbolton referred to by Carlyle is William Airy, the Duke's domestic chaplain.
