Mr. Hatsell to Lord Auckland.
Morden Park, Sunday, Nov. 23, 1813.
My dear Lord,—I must correct the conclusion of your last letter, “and so the world goes on,” to “and so the world goes off.” In the same Marlborough family I have lived to see eight137 generations:
1. Sarah Duchess of Marlborough.
2. Lady Sunderland.
3. Jack Spencer.
4. The first Lord Spencer.
5. The present Lord Spencer.
6. The Duchess of Devonshire.
7. Lady Morpeth.
8. Her children (the present Lord Carlisle and Duchess of Sutherland).
I saw Sarah in Lincoln’s-inn consulting Mr. Fazakerly, who stood close to her Grace’s chair; so, you see, I beat history out and out.138...—From the Auckland Correspondence, vol. iv. p. 401.
Notes
137. Only seven; the name of the second Lord Spencer ought to be omitted.
138. Mr. Hatsell died 1820.
