Kensington, July 31, 1729. Dear Brother,
Last Saturday the Prince of Wales surprised the Queen and all his dear sisters with a very pritty enter- tainment at Richmond. He had by the help of one Mr. Mercier a gentleman my son knows, got Mr. Rich and his company of Comediens to perform the play of Hob in the Gardens. I have sent you the prologue not for the wit of it, 'tis hearty and honest, but to show you that Mr. Rich had the same thought with you that the Queen's illness proceeded cheifly from the trouble of parting with the King. Yesterday the Queen and all the royal family went to dine and sup at Clivden, how they were diverted I know not, but I believe very well for they did not come home till almost four in the morning
Kensington, August 19, 1729.
.... I have full employment from morning till night waiting upon the Glorious Royal Family, and there are daily honours and favours heaped upon me, but no mony yet. I have been made Secretary to the Queen, groom of the Bed- chamber to the Duke, and, since my Lord Pomfrid has left
us, I have P. Ann for my Master of the Horse As a
distinguishing mark of her favour she has made me a present of a hunting suit, 'tis blue richly trimed with gold, linned and faced with red .... I am prouder on't than of a blew or red ribbon.
