Summary
Relating the details of Lord Egremont's Will and the amounts left to his sons, Colonel [George] Wyndham, General [Henry] Wyndham and his "third son" [Charles Wyndham]; saying "...I always thought it unlikely, but latterly as a drowning Man I caught at a straw. The will is dated 1834 - so that a former Will must have existed and this was no doubt made on finding out the Kings Intentions - Now I regret his not being alive to see his handy work."
