| Summary: | Clarke writes to Conolly - ‘I hope in a few days I shall get the valuation of the fixtures, etc, at Leixlip which I am sorry to find there are no bidders for as yet. Mrs Stone (previous to your directions to have the flowers, shrubs, etc, bought for you) had made a present of five pots of the Magn’ola [sic, magnolia] to Lady Betty Ponsonby, but the Speaker [John Ponsonby, Lady Betty’s husband], hearing that I had said Lady Louisa would be much disappointed in not getting them, sent for me and told me that she should have three of the pots, and that Lady Betty was determined to keep but two of them. The Speaker begged I would let you know this and that you would acquaint Lady Louisa with it. Pray are we to see you here this summer. Though Castletown is not habitable, Leixlip is and may very soon be fitted up for you.’ |
