APPENDIX HI. 



Seymour Place, September 2^th, 1765. 



My dear George, — I enclose a letter from the Tondino, 

 who is very sensible of your attention. There would 

 have been no scruple of remaining in your house, for 

 we both know you too well for that, but she wanted to 

 get back to all her Chiffons, contrary to my inclination. 



Lord Folkestone has kissed hands as Earl of Malmes- 

 bury,i Lord Spencer as Earl Spencer. Lord de Spencer is 

 to be an earl ; ^ but by what title I do not know, as he 

 has not kissed hands. There is a great entertainment to- 

 day at Clermont. The Duke of Newcastle is very angry 

 that neither the Duke of York nor Gloucester be of it. 

 They are, I hear, much displeased at his free manner of 

 inviting them to meet the prince, instead of his meeting tliem. 

 So much for Panto ! But I think our Princes much in the 

 right. 



The great B.^ was yesterday at the dressing, comme un 

 homme de quality qui a les entris. Neither he nor any of his 

 family were at the balls ; they were only invited to the 

 Duke of York's. Lady Hertford arrived last night with 

 the leau Richard. Fortescue and his wife came with 

 them. . . . 



^ ? Radnor. ^ Not correct. 



3 Apparently the Duke of Bedford.
