Title

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

Date Created

14 November 1818

Creator

Clarence and St Andrews, William, Duke of

Description

William suggests Daniell should tell Coates to dispose of the stock of pigs as these can be bought again at William's return to Bushy, in about a year's time - William is waiting for the house in Bushy to be renovated and repainted before coming back. He would like to know Coates' opinion about the sheep, the wether flock, and the lambs. He trusts Coates and Elphick, but not as much Allen [who were all taking care of William's farm park and garden's business].
The Duchess [Adelaide] is making good progress with her pregnancy and William hopes he will soon be able to enjoy the 'advantages which were in fact the motive for my marrying'.
