Summary
Noting that the Duchess of Kent wants to return to England to have her baby as much as the Duke of Kent does; opining that there should be "any drawback to an inclination founded on such strict notions of propriety"; adding that the Duke could return to England "if Parliament would only grant a just Remuneration, for those claims that were alluded to by Lord Castlereagh in May last"; reporting that he has "executed all [Wetherall's] commissions"; adding that the Duchess of Kent's pregnancy "continues to go on remarkably well."
