JET. 36.] AND THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE. 195 



FKOM LADY CHAELOTTE LINDSAY. 



" SEMPLING, August 8, 1814. 



" MY DEAR MR BROUGHAM, I am commanded to 

 send you a copy of a letter that the Princess has just 

 written to Mr Whitbread ; I have copied it literally, 

 as you will see. Our baggage is putting on board the 

 Jason, and this night, or early to-morrow, we are to 

 embark. I am much grieved, but not surprised, to 

 find that the idea of the Princess's departure from 

 England has had a terrible effect upon Princess Char- 

 lotte : her agitation was so great upon receiving the 

 letter announcing her mother's intention, that Baillie 

 and the surgeons were obliged to be immediately sent 

 for. I heard this from Miss Mercer, to whom I had 

 written to give all the comfort I can respecting the 

 probability that the Princess will return to this 

 country again; and the Princess has written herself to 

 Princess Charlotte, to assure her of this. Adieu. 



" CHARLOTTE LINDSAY/'
