Letter from Lord Munster, Brighton, to Mary Georgiana Dawson-Damer, 1837 October 1 : autograph manuscript signed with initial.

Discussing a kind letter he received from Ernest of Hanover and saying he plans to visit him and is considering sending his boys to stay with him for six months "...to learn German - and be near His Majesty - They go alas! in February to Harrow - but I have two others coming on to take their places - one should have spare Boys - to meet all contingencies. I hope the Horse is not too much for you - You never can meet a more quiet or safe animal - pray do not give up riding as nothing restores health & Nerves so much - Pray come back to London strong in health & spirits;" discussing Lord Westmorland's complaints about the stables at Steyne House and saying nothing seems to satisfy him; discussing the arrival of the Queen saying "Wednesday is the day fixed and the whole Town is already dotted over with Gigantic Vs - I wish we had been away & at Petworth - but it cannot be helped and I see no cause for worry;" telling her how important she has been to him saying "...consider where I have found (at least) consolation, for the last 7 years - You have ever tendered it & the best proof of my feeling on the subject is my having, on all occasions - without hesitation, come to you - But nothing is more curious that within three months - I should have staid near you - and tried to draw your mind from your loss - on the Evening & after you had lost your second mother - while, you, aided me - under all the horror & miseries of the three weeks Illness & tho not present - at the Bedside as I was, of one dear to you, - your Letters were a happiness & consolation during the whole trying Time at Windsor - You may believe I feel this - and am quite sure, of your will & intention, should your kind offer be ever required - I hold it to be an engagement - reciprocal - and that you would let me - nay expect me - in any hour of trouble - as you would one of your Brothers."
