Letter signed : "Kensington Palace", to Frederick Wetherall , 1809 Sept. 1.

Replying to his letters; expressing his concern for the ill health of Mrs. Wetherall; discussing the current status of Wetherall's son with his regiment; discussing the situation with the Duke of York and his command of the Army; saying ..."as altho' I am but too much alive to the unjust treatment which you know I have in every sense experienced nothing is more contrary to my nature than to wish to have my character or Claims established at the expence of any other Member of my Family, as in any attempt of that kind, it is impossible not to be impressed with the conviction that the writers object is to set the Family at variances, and thereby to undermine the Throne. It was upon that principle, that, when the Duke of York was first attacked, I went down to the House of Lords and delivered my Sentiments in the decided way I did on that Subject, following that [illegible] up with a tender of my hand to him in token of reconciliation, which from that moment took place on my part I am sure with Sincerity, and I hope no less so on his; and I am sure you will believe me when I say, that so strong are my feelings on the point, that I would willingly sacrifice my personal expectations of my own for the future, to see him reinstated even the thing possible, as I consider that nothing can be so injurious to the Royal prerogatives as the King having suffered the Command of the Army to go out of the Family, and it is my opinion that unless the Duke of York can resume it, His Majesty will never reconcile it to himself to place it in the hands of any other Member of it;" expressing his continuing hope that he could be returned to Gibraltar; expressing his hopes that Wetherall might return to him and "resume the functions of your Office..;"informing him that his son had been removed from his school and relating the circumstances.
