Mr Stanhope (Ld Harrington's brother) Mrs H. tells me is pulling
the Devil by the tail at Dieppe — over- -hearing two Bailiffs who had just
been arresting a friend of his mention his own name he had just
time enough to make his escape from there in slippers in a
cock-boat, sacrificing the place he had under the Prince of Wales.
A Mr & Mrs Smith who went over about a year ago with their
ten children in hopes of living upon £7 or 800 a year returned
ther day after spending 2,000 - A part of it went in law-expences
on account of the young gentlemen who were for boxing their
french companions a l'Anglaise —
I have no time to read over this scrawl, though I have some
doubts whether you will find it intelligible. The Coach-business
was such a Chaos that it would have taken two sheets of paper
to unravel it.
