Title
Fanny Keate: Letter from Dr Brown to Mrs Brown
Level
Item
Date
1 March 1812
Content description
Enthuses about the writing style of Mrs Whitehouse. They must take the post-chaise and visit her together when travelling from Eton through Aylesbury.
Alarmed by her accounts of the weather, with Dr Brown of Thunder they have not heard the sound 'nor of lighning seen the flash'. Neighbours extending many invitations but he has determined not to go out till after the Vernal equinox. Alot of gossip: Says she has not yet got the full account of 'that silly boy Lord Malpas at Eton'.
Recounts that he has recanted the Religion of the Church of England having married a Sicilian Young Lady. And Lord Cholmondeley does not meet with any compassion having connived with the elopement to Gretna of a daughter he had by the celebrated Madame de St. Aubin (who Dr Brown knew in Paris) with the young Lambton, of the great Durham fortune, a boy not yet of age, when t, hehey returned from Gretna he invited them to his house in Cheshire. He should not have allowed so weak a young man as Malpas to go abroad without some person of authority.
Keen that Dr Keate should be able to join him at Captain Wrights in the Easter Holidays, he is happy to be guided by Dr Keate's engagements. If he is near Eton he will make a run down.
Charming description of the Lady Pig Celia having a litter of 8 and having already squashed one because she is a 'young and giddy nurse'.
On outside: Clenchwarton March 1st 1812
Addressed to Mrs Brown. at the Rev.d Dr Keate's Eton College, near Windsor.
