Letter from Maria Fitzherbert, Brighton, to Mary Georgiana Dawson-Damer, 1831 : autograph manuscript signed with initials.

Saying she enjoyed George's visit "...very much - I only fear he must have been sadly bor'd - nothing could be more amiable & agreeable - I wish you could have heard all the delightful things he said of you...I am quite griev'd at the sufferings of your poor little girl but I trust yr next letter will give me a more favorable account...last night Lord Egremont came here from Town dreadfully ill & every body is alarm'd about him - Munster promis'd to come for half an hour last night to see George but he could not get leave to come to us - he told me the Parson's Green House is not half large enough & that Lady M. says she thinks she shall remain here not caring a farthing about the King he said it would be rather uncomfortable to him but if Lady M. wish'd it they sh'd stay - I made no answer but I must say I think after what has pass'd it shews a great want of delicacy - I suppose if I am here I shall be very sorry for it as it will be an eternal squabble & quarrel the whole Winter - what a poor Creature he is to submit in the way he does to all her humours & caprices - I shall not think of moving till the weather changes when that will take place god knows."
