L.Lady G.Gask

“May 15. 1769.
As I know it is
agreeable to learn of a Letter’s com-
ing
safe to hand, this informs you, that
I had yours of April 29. with the pa-
graph
paragraph
from Dunkerque. I doubt it is true
about the ServtsServants. I wrote to my Corres-
pondent
, to know if it was so. I got a 1912 (1912) Letter from him last night, &and all he
says for or against it, is, Meg is very
well, but you must really excuse her
being in masquemask sometimes. I had a
Letter from Mrs Olip.Oliphant at the same
time, dated Mar.March 31. She says, they
saw the King of Naples wash the
Feet of 12 old Men on Holy Thurs-
day
. There was a fine Supper prepar-
ed
for them. The King handed the
first Service to ServtsServants, who set it
on the Table, &and the Karles sat
down with great Ease. After that
the King &and Queen visited seven
Churches on Foot, &and a grand pro-
cession
it was, which they saw from
a princess’s Window, where all the
British were.”
