Note 266 — JOURNAL OF ELIZABETH LADY HOLLAND (continued 4)

This is probably the paper printed in Memorials and Correspondence of C. J. Fox, ii. 340, &c. It was to be delivered to the King in 1789, with the memorial, also drawn up by Minto and Burke, containing a justification of the Prince’s and Duke of York’s conduct during their father’s illness. Both documents were discussed at a meeting of the Whig leaders held at Carlton House, and it was decided not to present the memorial with this paper, but to accompany it only with a short explanatory letter.
