Extract of a letter from a lady at Minorca, dated Jan. 5.
We have had the Duke of York here, who has won all our
hearts by his most amiable and engaging behaviour; it was,
in some measure, fortunate for us that his highness staid
but a week, or we should certainly have been danced to
death; not a day passed without a ball, as splendid as our
island could possibly render them; the most particular was
that given by Com. Harrison, which was in this part, beyond
any thing ever seen; the plate exhibited on the occasion,
cost upwards of 5000L.
