Description

Part 1, Folios 136-137. Letter dated at London from the Duke of York to the Prince of Orange replying to the latter's letter on the death of the Duke's 'little daughter' [Charlotte Maria]. The Duke says he could see by the letter that the Prince was 'sensibly touched which is but what I had reason to expect from you, that are so concerned at all that happens to me'. The Duke says that the success of Sir William Pritchard against [Sir Thomas] Gould and [Henry] Cornish means that there will be 'a good and loyal Lord Mayor [of London] as well as two Sheriffs of the same trampe [sic] which is a mighty mortification to the Whigs'.
