THE PKINCESS OF WALES TO LADY 

 CHARLOTTE LINDSAY. 



"NAPLES, December 15, 1814. 



" MY DEAR LADY CHARLOTTE, It is a real misfor- 

 tune to have too zealous friends in this world. I now 

 just begin to feel a little quite not happy, which 

 I mention once before in one of my letters, but 

 tranquille, that I find I am again to be troubled with 

 thousand fears and visions, but so much about Mi- 

 Brougham's letter. I enclosed to you my answer, and 

 I have send also a diplicat through the channel of 

 Messrs Coutts. By that methode Mr Brougham must 

 have it very soon and safe the power and authority 

 to acte as he think the best and the most prudent for 

 Princess Charlotte and myself. 



" I beg of you to mention also that General Mat- 

 thews, a great oposition person, is here with his brother, 

 Lord Llandaff, Lord Sligo also. Ever English person 

 are very civil and good humour with me ; even 

 the Holland have been so to me. The King and 

 Queen are both very clever, and very good-natured 

 indeed to me, and very fond of my society. I live 

 entirely with them, and go to dinner alone with them 

 constantly. There are many English, and much at- 

 tached to the nation ; their conduct are so perfect that 

 they are quite adored by these people. The only 

 misery I feel is, that I have never yet heard from 

 Princess Charlotte. Mr St Leger saw her at Wey- 

 mouth after his return to England. She was much 

 better, but she never write once, so I write ever week. 

 I wrote to Mr St Leger to mention this to Lord Liver- 

 pool, but I have not yet received any answer. I hope
