Description

Folio 240: E. Hay to Earl of Shelburne. His audience with King and Queen on presenting condolences for death of Infante Dom Manuel and notification of birth of new royal princess. Publication of a book by the Oratarian priest Antonio Pereira, arguing that Portuguese bishops can give dispensations for consanguinous marriages without recourse to Rome is a clear indication that Portuguese Court does not contemplate a rapprochement with the Vatican. Bristow has at last received some of the money due to him. Court news. Damage done to vintage and crops by the late heavy and violent rains. Will number all his letters, beginning with this.

Date and place: 1766 Oct 25 Lisbon.
