The King is come to town in bad humour at breaking up his Brighton
party, and determined to stay as short a time, and to do as little
in the way of public _appearances_, as possible, and which his
Ministers are strongly urging him to do. I suppose you will come up
for the Drawing-room if you don't for the Levee. We are in much
better spirits, in general appearances and prospects in the House,
and though Ireland will create much discussion, and also
Londonderry's agriculture propositions, still there is no doubt we
shall get the Session much sooner closed than usual. You shall hear
from me, if anything occurs, from day to day, before you come up.
Ever most faithfully yours,
W. H. F.
THE RIGHT HON. CHARLES W. WYNN TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.
Whitehall, April 25, 1822.
MY DEAR B----,
It would give me the greatest pleasure to deliver your message to
the King, if I could find the opportunity of any other business to
desire an audience, but I think, upon consideration, you will think
that it might more properly be made the subject of a letter from
yourself to Sir Andrew Barnard, as Gentleman-in-Waiting, or
directly to the King, than of a note from me.
I am myself such a mere novice in matters of etiquette, that I
should not place the least confidence in my own judgment on such a
point, but should readily submit to yours, if I had not this
morning consulted my uncle Tom, who gave the same opinion which I
had previously formed. I have not yet had an opportunity of any
conversation with C----, having only seen him last night while I
was in labour of a speech, but I shall be very glad to see the
paper which you mention.
