Content Description

On his return to Ireland; the Ellenbrough's are with them, and the Gresley's were with them, Mr. Gresley is foolish about his pretty wife and only lets her dance with him [Londonderry], thinking her "safest in the old fox hounds maw!"; he asks Lawrence's opinion of Mrs. P., he doesn't think Lord Liverpool will approve, "a Catholic to boot!"; he will not let the nation have his Correggio's unless a generous offer is made.
