Title

Letter from William, Duke of Clarence to John Bourke, 4th Earl of Mayo, written at Bushy House

Date Created

15 December 1824

Creator

Clarence and St Andrews, William, Duke of

Description

William is glad to know that Mrs Smith has been rewarded [in her husband's will] for her dedication to her husband. He comments more on the will [the details of which have been communicated by Lord Mayo].He would be happy to see the Lord and Lady Mayo in London - if they are going to be in town, as the Duchess [Adelaide] seem to have understood from the Countess [Lady Mayo]. William wants Lord Mayo's opinion on Ireland - he knows that they disagree on the means to bring peace in the country, but they are surely both against the Catholic Board and Rent, as well as against Papist Priests.
