Title

Letter from the Duke of Clarence to J.W. Daniell, written at Hanover

Date Created

27 September 1818

Creator

Clarence and St Andrews, William, Duke of

Description

William is returning the Farm Park and Garden's accounts; he approves of how the money has been allocated.
He is planning the funeral of Mrs Coggan [? wife of one of William's ex-servants] at Hampton Court.
Talking about agricultural developments, William doubts that, as calculated by Coates, the flail is cheaper than the machine; he also has doubts about the cleanliness of the threshing. He hopes Coates and Elphick will be able to drain Cain's Wood by the autumn; he is fairly happy with the account of the harvest for 1817. He will send Mrs Oak some linen so that to allow her to decide what to get for Bushy and St James's.

After having suffered for the very hot weather, the Duke and Duchess are now feeling better. He is glad to know that his daughter and Mrs Harper are getting along well - he hopes George [FitzClarence] will be prudent going around.
He hopes Coates will not need more money.
