Letters of George III

Letters of George III is in Letters.

4265. [Undated. After 3rd January 1759] I send your Majesty the Dutchess of Argyle's [aged 25] letter to me, I know there is also one for you. Her indelicacy goes a great way, and I am of opinion with my humble advice that your Majesty would now do better to let the Duke of Manchester acquaint her that her daughter [Elizabeth Hamilton Countess Derby [aged 5]] should not come to Court, or be ill received, as letting her come will open the door to others, for though she is not divorced, she has stood a public tryal. I declare I shall neither speak to mother or daughter, and if she leaves my family I shall but get rid of an impertinent person who has always behaved disrespectful to me.

There will be time enough to send to the Duke of Manchester. I shall not answer the Dutchess of Argyle's letter.
