Title
Lord St. Helens to Sir Henry FitzHerbert: an attack of gout has precluded a visit to Firbeck [and Henry Gally Knight]; the Prince Regent has invited him to Brighton for his November party, but may not be up to going. However "an occasional weekend's attendance at Windsor, where my apartment is quite like a second home, will be rather a relief than otherwise"; is pleased Sir Henry has enjoyed North Wales"; ... I recollect too having been equally struck with the simple, quiet, orderly, and obliging manners of the common people which are really like those of the golden age as compared with the dissolute and profligate habits that prevail in the populous and manufacturing districts of England."
