Letters from Charles Fitzroy, 2nd Duke of Grafton

In these letters Charles, Lord Grafton writes to Henry Boyle, Lord Carleton concerning the honour of his new employment and his gratitude to the Duke of Newcastle and leaving the Kingdom of Ireland.

He writes to the 3rd Duke of Devonshire concerning: the King not seeing any company, even that of his servants, in his bedchamber; Lord Grafton mentioning the 3rd Duke's private letter to the King; the King's expectation that there will be no public diversion until after Christmas (given that the King is still grieving); his reflections on the Queen's death; his congratulations regarding his business as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

To the Marquess of Hartington, his nephew, he writes of: wishing to see him in town soon and that he will not forget to visit when he is there; his love for his nephew; the message from others that Crowley acts well; travelling to Ipswich; Varey a good Rock; running them [the horses?] hard tomorrow; his intentions to visit them at Chatsworth; his relief that Lady Hartington is well again; his intention not to divert to see Mr Arundel as they have heard nothing from him; their shooting trip in the moor; seeing Lord Hatington's horses at Newmarket; having sport and killing a fox near Denham; his concern that they will not meet and that Lord Hartington's friends are still in the terrible situation.
