13580Cheltenham; 11 February 1850. 2pp. 4to. In good condition on aged paper with traces of mount at head. The Earl and his brother loathed one another. FitzHardinge was a notorious philanderer and Berkeley - whose violent behaviour included assaulting the bookseller Fraser and duelling with Maginn - held his position as a Member of Parliament to spite him. The letter begins: 'Sir. You have published a letter from Mr. Grantley Berkeley in your Paper a short time since in which he asserts his knowledge of the quarter whence arises a vindictive persecution and whence come funds for the support of an action for seduction and in a comment you distinctly apply this insinuation to me and ascribe to me an interference hardly fraternal. The correspondence which I now enclose not present the only communication I have ever held will enable you to judge of the truth of the insinuation in Mr. Berkeley's letters and as the action has dropped for want of a small sum for fees no prejudice to a question before a Court of Law can now attend the publication of Matilda <Lait's> letters and I feel it due to myself to make known the motives and extent of my interference in the matter after the misrepresentation in your Paper.'

25127‘Emerald Nore the 12 Decr 1795’. At the time of writing Berkeley’s newly-constructed HMS Emerald had just completed her coppering and fitting-out at Woolwich. Sailing to join Jervis’s Mediterranean fleet within less than a year she would be involved in controversy. Following the Battle of Cape St Vincent 14 February 1797 in which HMS Emerald was too lightly built to take part the victorious Jervis sent Berkeley off with a squadron of five ships in search of the disabled Spanish flagship Santisima Trinidad. On 20 February Berkeley declined to engage when he sighted her under tow. This decision was widely criticised and there were calls for Berkeley’s court-martial. Two months later on 26 April 1797 HMS Emerald was cruising with the Irresistible off the Spanish coast when they captured two enemy frigates one of which sank at sea. 1p folio.
