Fine letter signed to "Most Honoured Brother"

He would, of course, have made a point of taking official leave of Your Majesty ... if he had not received the order to return to my Kingdom before knowing what I intended for him, and was thus prevented from personally discharging his final duties as Minister ... I should like to use this opportunity to reiterate the interest I take in Your Majesty's prosperity ...", 1 side folio, Loo Castle, 28th August
