The following is inserted as a curious specimen of the
literary abilities of the D-- of C--------d, being one of
the letters his Royal Highness wrote during his late amour
with Lady Grosvenor.
From the London Morning Chronicle, July 5.
My dear little angel, I wrote my last letter to you
yesterday at eleven o'clock just when we sailed. I dined at
two o'clock and as for the afternoon I had some music I have
my own servant on board that plays and a couple of hands
from London for the six weeks I am out. . . [1.5 columns] I
have been reading for about an hour this morning in Prior
and find these few lines just now applicable to us
Now oft had Henry changed his sly disguise,
Unmarked by all but beauteous Harriets eyes;
Oft had found means alone to see the dame
And at her feet to breath his am'rous flame:
. . . [8 more lines of poetry. 15 more lines of prose, with
note at end] Direct to Lady Grosvenor.
