Title
Letter from the Duke of Clarence to J.W. Daniell, written in Ems
Date Created
26 June 1826
Creator
Clarence and St Andrews, William, Duke of
Description
William acknowledges the receipt of Daniell's letters; he returns, signed the proper papers. He gives instructions to be forwarded to Slade for works to be done around the house, the farm and the garden.
[Sir John] Barton communicated to him that Augustus and his brother [George?] have been to Portsmouth - William does not want to blame either Daniell or Merewether, but it should not have happened. He wonders about the weather and whether a dry and hot or a rainy summer would benefit the crops.
Switching to politics, William hopes that his friend Pallmer "will be sitting member with Donnison for Surry"; he also wonders about the situation between Lord Chancellor [Henry Goulburn] and Palmerston [Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston].
Talking about the works at the house [Bushy], William hopes that Slade is getting on with the painting works.
He concludes with an update of his next movements.
