The Right Honourable Earl Grey
Lyons, Jan. 4, 1824
My Lord,
By the conduct of most of the gentlemen whom I have met on the continent, though more particularly of the Whigs, towards me, as well as by general report, I have collected that it is intended, that upon my return to England I shall not be spoken to. Being conscious of having acted throughout this affair with the most pure intentions, - the strictest honour, - and in a manner that circumstances made necessary, - I shall, in my own defence, lay before the world in letters to several of my friends, the treatment I received from Lady Swinburne and Sir John, from the day on which their daughter accepted me, with all that has subsequently occurred. As I shall have occasion to make use of your Lordship’s name, I think it right to inform your Lordship of my intention to do so.
I have the honour to remain My Lord
Your Lordship’s Obed.t servt
T.W.Beaumont
