Description (What the record is about)
-
Part 1, Folios 124-125. Letter dated at London from the Duke of York to the Prince of Orange. Preparations are being made to go to Newmarket as Parliament is prorogued until 21 October. The Duke's wife and his daughter Anne intend to visit the Prince's wife 'very incognito' while the Duke is out of town. They 'will carry little company with them and send this bearer Rob [Robert] White before to get a house for them as near the court as they can, they intend to stay only whilst' the Duke is at Newmarket. The Duke writes 'I was very glad to see by the last letters that my daughter continued so well and hope now she will go out her full time. I have written to her to be careful of herself and she would do well not to stand too much, for that is very ill for a young breeding woman. The incognito ladies intend to set out hence on Tuesday next if the wind be fair and have bid me tell you they desire to be very incognito and have Lord Ossory for their governor'.
