November 1813 - 22nd March one letter repaired without loss occasional dust marks stitching loose in places spine defective In the letter of c. November 1813 Yate recalls to the Countess "the Difference. which existed between Lady B: & Captain Ashe & which ended in the abortion of a work composed by that celebrated & ingenious Writer on purpose & written under the sanction of Lady B: & which now Mr. Y: conceives is in her possession. The Mss: Mr. Y: has purchased. originated from that untoward circumstance & tho' compiled perhaps under the irritation of conceived ill-usage & disappointed hopes yet Mr. Y: fearlessly asserts it is a classical interesting & well-founded work; & which the terrors of the Law cannot suppress.". Later he concedes that the "Romance. certainly appeared" to refer to "a public occurrence the revival of which. might be painful to the family" 8th March 1814. The beautiful and capable Lady B. was the daughter of the local butcher. She married the 5th Earl in 1796 having previously borne him four sons. After her husband died in 1810 it is rumoured that she received an offer of marriage from the Duke of Clarence. The "public occurrence" no doubt was the failure in 1811 of Col. Berkeley to establish his claim to the Earldom. It was held that the 5th Earl had falsified the parish register to make Col. Berkeley appear born in wedlock. Yate asks Cocker not to reveal his address as he is avoiding his creditors. With a checklist. Item Date Page From To 1813: 1. Sun. Nov. 49 Yate Oxford Lady Berkeley. 1814: 2.
