Lady Mary Kemeys to Sir Charles Kemeys. She had been unable to get the pheasants he desired till the end of the week; she had purchased stuff for the boy's coat; Mrs Mansell had heard that he had gone to Wales 'to be a parliament man', but, on asking if Mr Mansell had not done likewise, she said he would rather run the hazard of losing his seat; remarks that those who least need save most and those who want most care not what they throw away; she does not see the need for Sir Charles to spend £40 or £50 when he would not get more than by staying in London; did not see more need for him to pay his respects to the gentlemen of the country than it was for Lord Worcester or Mr Mansell; discusses the stewards' accounts and expresses her unease because Sir Charles had already borrowed £1,200 of Neddy's money; he might have to repay the money when her son came of age at an inconvenient time and give rise to 'unkindness' between them.
