Plain Text Transcription |
From T.H. to Lady Barham [Diana Noel]. The money has been lying in the banker’s hands for the last month ever since the dividends were paid in and might have been paid any day that Noel had called for it. Reference is made to the assurance that they have been expecting from Noel’s son [Charles] but they have not yet heard from him. The money can be paid to Noel’s banker in London or any other person that she chooses to nominate. ‘I shall be agreeably disappointed if your next half year does not leave you more embarrassed than the present, with the additional mortification of being uable to fulfill your engagement. This I confess appears to me neither the path of duty or wisdom, and I should not be the faithful friend I am conscious I am, if I did not tell you so, not in anger as you suppose but in love unfeigned.’ T.H. would visit his Ladyship with pleasure if distance did not make the journey impossible. T.H. is not particularly unwell but he was ‘seized yesterday with a [unreadable word] that seized me in the night, and is not today quite removed. Youl will give me your directions, when, where and to whom the money is to be paid.’ (1 sheet, 1p.) February 1816 |
