Note 249 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
Mr. Fox did not go to Devonshire House to “protest his utter ignorance of any such design.” He wrote to the Duke at Chatsworth on the 2nd of November, to express his sorrow at what had happened; and in a subsequent letter of the 9th assured his Grace that “he neither knew nor had the least suspicion” of the intention to strike his Grace’s name out of the Privy Council.—Note by the late Mr. Allen, on the manuscript copy of these Memoirs.
