Letter from Lord Munster, Brighton, to Mary Georgiana Dawson-Damer, 1837 August 27 : autograph manuscript signed.

Asking about a writer unknown to him; commenting on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine saying "You will have been delighted with Babbage's machine - I think the great Principles are so simple that anyone may understand them - I wish for many reasons I had been of the Party;" asking her to let him know when she will be going to Came adding "When you go, like the Frenchman who asked if he married his best friend, where, he should in such a case pass his Evening, - where, shall I find anyone to listen to my plaints & soothe my worries? I can solve your question - the world is generally unhappy but few in it have such a heart & mind as yours and whose qualities of feeling & sympathy draw all to confide in you - beyond all others - the moment Frederick was in a poor way, tho too great a Man formerly, he by intuition found out you amiably - I hope under every circumstance...you have found me the same;" adding that he doubts Lord Westmoreland will take her house but there is someone else who is willing to pay 12 Guineas a week for a month."
