Description:
Princess Augusta writes from Windsor and notes that 'for our sins [we] are forced on Sunday evenings to walk on the terrace'. She notes that they always now dine at the castle as the King is 'fitting up a Library here as well as Kew' and that Lady Warwick who she describes as 'Lovely, Angelic, Gracious, engaging, agreeable' is in London, along with General Clark. The letter continues with Court gossip. The Queen was told by Lady Egremont [Possibly Lady Alicia Maria Egremont (1761-1794), a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Charlotte] 'that she is perfectly happy for Lord Egremont is for certain to marry Lady Maria Walgegrave' [niece of Horace Walpole, daughter of Maria Walpole and James, 2nd Earl of Waldergrave (1761-1808), Maria married George Henry Fitzroy, 4th Duke of Grafton in 1784]. She finds Lady Courtown [possibly Countess Mary Courtown (d.1810) n?e Powis, married James Stopford, 2nd Earl of Courtown] more agreeable each time she sees her. The letter ends on the subject of fashion. Augusta notes that 'we now do our hair in a new sort of fashion we have hats all day and no caps'.
